Any advantage to a female Chem/Math applicant?

Actually, if your D has the grades, classes, and standardized test scores to match a professed interest, it would be a relative advantage, as it would differentiate her from the general pool of candidates.
A 4 on Calc AB, 600s-low 700s on SAT2s, and no listed higher math or chem classes on her transcript would not support the assertion of interest, plus point to an inability to carry out said plan, so it wouldn’t help.
Anything that sets you apart can make a difference…
