[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our daughter did not get into [b]Duke, Vandy, Penn, Michigan [/b]OOS for engineering/CS. High stats (1500+) and highest rigor for her school. Good ECs but not great for STEM. I thought being a girl would help but these schools are just incredibly tough for these majors.
She got merit from Pitt, Lehigh, Case for engineering. [/quote]

Ours is at one of those privates and also was accepted to the other privates plus another top one. The women at her college were all top stem, they won very similar stem awards at their high school as well as at least state or even national level. Most also seem to have a non-stem EC that they got accolades for , ie debate or music at states, concertmaster, similar. They all did stem research in high school. D was amazed there were so many cracked kids. The males are too but fewer were valedictorian which is interesting. Something about stem attracts top top performing females yet attracts a broader group of males. [/quote]
