Any advantage to a female Chem/Math applicant?

I’ve got to believe she’s in a good spot:
SAT - 800 in math, 800 writing, 730 CR
SAT2 - 770 in Chem, 750 in math, 750 history
3.99 unweighted gpa
5’s in the four APs she’s taken: stats, Chem, us history, world history
Good EC’s, will get good recommendations

But from what I’ve been reading, it seems like that describes MANY kids at Amherst. Ergo, I was wondering if her interest in science/math could give her a little edge.

I much appreciate your response in what’s turning out, I guess, to be chance request.
