<p>@TV4Caster - Not sure where your DD is applying but there were kids at my son’s high school that got deferred from an top engineering college. The admissions people actually came to our school to explain to each of them why they were deferred. One of my sons’ friends was told that he was deferred because he was applying to an engineering college and instead of taking the STEM AP’s he had taken the English and History AP’s instead. He did get in regular decision however the message basically was if you are going into STEM make sure and take AP’s that show that. Not sure if other colleges feel the same way but if your DD is taking STEM AP’s then she should be fine.</p>
