[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't know if this helps but my son had very similar stats (smidge higher SAT, 4.0 UW- something like 4.9 WGPA). He took BC Calc jr year and multivariable this year. 
Your daughter hopefully will get a little boost because they need more females. 
Here's what happened with my kid:
Accepted with no merit -
Purdue, Wisconsin-Madison, UIUC, and UMD-College Park, Univ of Pittsburgh
Accepted with merit (sometimes lots of it)-
University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, Delaware, RIT, RPI
Waitlisted-
Ga Tech (but you're an alum; I think that helps a bit)
Rejected regular decision-
Vanderbilt

My kid will probably end up at College Park - it still has one of the lowest costs and offered him some perks. He liked the opportunities there and it'll be nice that he's not far. [/quote]

Based on your son's course selection, he is probably in a magnet program.
Just curious why did he apply to so many safeties considering his high stats? My son has identical stats and had UMD, VT and Purdue as safeties. He got into all but we (literally) forced him to apply to VT just to add an extra safety.

Wisconsin-Madison, UIUC, and UMD are top engineering schools with very low acceptance rate. Congratulations to your son![/quote]
