[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]- what were their stats
- did they apply Test Optional
- did they have a hook (athletic recruit, first gen etc)
- did they apply ED

Just trying to understand what’s really possible.  Our school’s SCOIR data includes students from many years ago.[/quote]

How about this, tell us your kid's stats and we will tell you if it is possible.[/quote]

+1. Much faster. Give us your kid's stats as well as what state they are in and what type of school they are attending (public, independent, parochial). We will chance them.[/quote]

Ok 
4.0 UW / 4.7 W
1560 SAT (one time , no superscore)
5s on AP exams taken so far
12 APs , plus 2 years post BC Calc math (multi var calc and DifEq / linear Alg)
4 years varsity in one sport (but not recruited)
National qualifier in an academic Ec
Exceptional ECs  in 2 areas w lots of initiative/ leadership and service [/quote]

M or F
Interested in STEM or nonSTEM
The stats are high enough…no college cares about a 1600 vs a 1560.

If M and non-STEM, competitive at any school.

There is no such thing as Exceptional ECs…there are “real” ECs like competitive debate and BS ECs like Honor Society.  Tons that are in between at which a kid can do exceptional things even though the EC is nothing unusual.

Female 
[b]Real ECs[/b] - like debate , robotics , service, research, sports
Has diverse interests - could be STEM plus something non-STEM[/quote]

Real ECs? People have gone bat sh*t crazy around here. Truly. [/quote]

STEM for females has much higher admission chances, in general. [/quote]

This isn’t true.  At least two thirds of the students at my 2023 dd’s all girls school applied as stem majors.   I imagine that is representative of girls everywhere.[/quote]

Same at my daughter's girls school but they were almost all pre-med biology or neuroscience majors.  only a handful (less than 5) had taken calculus physics or computer science and less than 10 took calc BC.  So the majority were "STEM lite."[/quote]

Good number of  female computer science majors coming from my dd’s school.   Calculus is a graduation requirement  so every girl takes some version of it, and about 10 percent of grade takes bc as a junior, another 20-30percent take bc as seniors.  Girls interested in computer science take the AP class, typically as juniors, then an advanced seminar in computer science as seniors,

I’m sure girls coming from stem magnets or the better public schoo,shave all these classes and more.

What you are claiming simply isn’t true

For some reason, people keep claiming there is no a mismatch in overall applications between Male and Female for CS and engineering.  I mean the stats are out there, and there clearly is regardless of anyone's personal anecdotes.  Here are the recent stats:

"Only 20 percent of computer science and 22 percent of engineering undergraduate degrees in the U.S. go to women" from Scientific American in 2022.

This is not because it starts out 50/50 and all the women are dropping out.  It is because they are not pursuing it in college from the start.

So, yes, women will get a slight admissions bump if interested in these fields while men are getting a bump if they are interested in classic humanities (english, history, philosophy) type majors.[/quote]
