Your daughter will get in especially if she is a NYS resident.

3

Is that based on personal experience?

4

I agree, unless red flags in the common app essay, she will be accepted. Plenty of lower stats accepted. Good luck.

5

Seems like she should get in on her own merits. Why even suggest that her acceptance might be enhanced by her brother’s achievements when she has so many of her own?
