<p>I have found that girl engineers are highly valued; it is unique and really makes your application stand out. However, what I have learned from the couple of college visits I went on this summer (Princeton being one of them), is that the admissions committee likes it when one has a couple of ECs that they are really dedicated to. The fact that you have several ECs relating to science is good if you went by this approach. Depending on what year you’re in, it may not be too late to join some classes or find other activities that involve engineering, but in the end you really should put down the major that interests you the most, regardless of how much of an edge it will give you in the application process.</p>
