<p>My daughter is in HS class of 2012, and she’s interested in Civil Engineering ( emphasis in structures) with “minor” in architecture. Long story on that combo, but for this basic posting, that’s a start. She is in the top few (#1 - #4) of her public school class of 400. She has decent (for Princeton standards) SAT scores of 760 math, 740 reading, 750 writing. Upon HS graduation she’ll have 6 AP classes under her belt. 12 years of dance (tap, jazz, hiphop, point, etc) and 6 years of Latin (so far). National Merit qualified (results pending). Our son had similar stats (sans dance), but was rejected from Princeton. </p>

<p>We toured many schools, and she loved Princeton and Syracuse U (super architecture program). While at Princeton, we had a tour from a current sophmore (friend of family), which was a nice capstone to our visit.</p>

<p>Details provided are sketchy, but I’m trying to paint a basic picture of her stats. Does she have a chance? </p>

<p>Yes, I think so. Princeton is very committed to women in engineering. Dance is very big. My daughter’s friend did her senior thesis at Princeton, in engineering, on a methodology to capture dance movement electronically.</p>
