[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My TJ 2022 DD with >4.5 GPA + 1580 SAT didn't get in to the 3 Ivy's that she applied to or Duke. It still hurts sometimes especially when people say "being a girl is a hook for STEM" because that is not at all true even with high stats. [/quote]

Last year was really hard so there isn’t much more your daughter likely could have done. I heard a girl in STEM turned down Harvard for Duke last year, is that true?[/quote]

But the fact remains i.e. if you are a girl in STEM with high stats, you are NOT given admittance in a silver platter to an elite school just because you are a girl. As more schools try to narrow down the gender gap, girls are competing among themselves and boys among boys. And so, the accomplishments needed for an average girl to get into a T50+ school is less than it is required by a boy. Boys have more energy in general and do a lot if they are motivated, and so the competition is fierce among them. Also, gender birth rate is around 105 boys per 100 girls, so there are more boys in general.[/quote]
