[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the responses. Very interesting and maybe reassuring? As I mentioned above, DD is a happy and content kid (knock on wood). That is most important to me. I don't want her to stress out unnecessarily. I would be thrilled if DD could get into some of the "B-level" schools mentioned above, especially if it doesn't require an unnecessarily stressful junior year. 
[b]Out of curiosity, has anyone noticed boys having an edge over girls based on demographics (i.e., more girls applying than boys)? [/b]Or is that not an issue when we are talking about selective colleges?[/quote]

Yes, but imo it’s more than negated if your DD is interested in a women’s college. There are women’s colleges that provide an amazing education and are substantially easier to get into than an equivalent co-ed school, while having a student body that is just as strong.

My only child is a boy, and I felt a stab of regret that this wasn’t going to be an option for him![/quote]
