[quote=Anonymous]I once added up every category of “hook” reported by the Crimson and other sources for a recent incoming Harvard class, and it totaled well over 100%. I’m sure there are some kids with “double” hooks that were counted twice, (First-Gen/recruited athletes, URM/legacies, etc), but the fact remains that the majority of Harvard students have a “hook” of some kind. Harvard admits the categories of kids it wants to admit, and because of the pool of applicants they get, it happens to be in the enviable position of being able to do that and still maintain high average stats. I have no problem with that, but people need to give up on the idea that it has anything to do with merit. [/quote]
