Not much difference between my 2 Ds - they both wanted music and science (likely double degrees) so the path was somewhat similar. I did push my D2 to submit SAT scores even to optional test schools - particularly because they were stronger - as I figured that would help with merit. I didn’t push D2 to apply as early so she was left scrambling around - literally applying at the RD deadline at a school or two - in early January so that approach will definitely change with D3!
