[quote=Anonymous]"Unhooked" isn't really a term. A hook is when a student has an admissions advantage because of some unique characteristic, like being a top athlete, or an Intel finalist, or something like that. There is no opposite. You either have a hook or you don't. Oh, and at DC's prep school, the kids going to the top colleges are the ones with the hooks, not the very top students. Imagine the AD at Penn. 4.0 GPA with 2200 SATs? Yawn. 3.75 GPA with 2100 SATs AND averages 22 points and 10 rebounds? Now we are talking. Elite colleges don't want great students who are well-rounded. They want great students with exceptional talents. This has more to do with getting admitted than race.[/quote]
