[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone talks about kids with hooks getting into great schools. Can you provide some examples of things that count as “hooks” these days? I think I get the concept but I am not sure where a nice honor or cool EC becomes a “hook”?[/quote] Being URM.[/quote] No. Being URM isn’t enough. You have to be URM AND first generation college student. Bigger than that is: 1. Rich legacy that donates 2. From Wealthy family 3. Athletic recruit People love to post that URM is such a big hook and how unfair it is. In reality the best chance of being admitted is one if these three categories. [/quote]
