[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think any of this “hooked” stuff is true. My kid is unhooked - no legacy because we are from another country, no athletic ability whatsoever, very good but not amazing academics (ie some Bs), no interesting extra curriculars. A very nice, smart kid who is very well liked by teachers so really the only thing I can think of is that he had very good recommendations - but I’m sure that lots of other kids had these too. Got into 2 out of 2 Big 3s that we applied to and 2 out of 2 “next tier” schools. For anyone reading this: do not be put off by talk of hooks! Just apply if you like the schools and think your kid will be happy there.[/quote]
