[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My girls are in public school as well. I would say that there is an advantage in that they stand out from their peers. At my kids' high school, only 5 out of 25 kids taking AP Physics C are girls. That said, I think there are a lot of great schools for engineering and you're DD will be fine if they apply widely. There are many excellent programs, including Olin, Harvey Mudd, UIUC, Purdue. My DD has a 4.0 UW and 1550+ and 7 AP scores (taking 6 more this year) and her CC says that UMich OOS, UVA OOS, UCB OOS and UCLA OOS are all targets, not safeties.[/quote] Ours had about 5 females and 12 males in Physics C. Small private. The 5 females were all very top of the class. Only two of the males were top of the class (the top 5 females and top 5 males at the end of junior year are given awards)[/quote]
