As long as she has the activities and accomplishments she should be fine. That said, their may be other shorter essays or the “Why ___ College” question where she can talk about something more STEM related. We tend to focus on the main essay, but it’s a total package that the admissions officer reads. For my younger son I actually think his more compelling essay was one about an EC that was related to his academic interests, while the main essay showed a more light-hearted side of himself. He got into much better colleges than his grade warranted so we like to think that his essays might have helped.
