pandora, your numbers should make you competitive at all three places. and being female should also help you at all three, although it’s commonly thought that MIT is more “affirmative” than caltech in seeking out and admitting women. but aside from these considerations of strategy, you should really apply to the one you like best and consider to be the best fit for you. if you’re serious about studying philosophy, though, princeton might be the answer (MIT has a very strong program as well). and if you’re serious about neuroscience, you might be interested to check out the latest happenings at princeton, including a new institute, to be housed, in a couple years, in a brand new facility:

good luck with your choice!
