@DrGoogle Like I stated before, I never said females lack any sort of work habits or were “less qualified” engineers, so it’s normal that you and your daughter worked very hard to maintain their grades. However, I think we both know how much truth there is in your statement when you say females don’t get a leg up in admissions. Don’t confuse that females incapable of succeeding in engineering. I wouldn’t be surprised if OP got into great engineering schools – she has great stats. There are however many instances on CC and in real life where I see girls getting into STEM schools that their more qualified male counterparts did not get into and I think many people would agree with that statement.
