[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son has applied to a lot of schools that have more girls than boys. I tell him it is probably the only time in his life that being male is a hook![/quote] This is not a hook. This is a bump. It means that if all other things are equal between your son and a female applicant with the same credentials, he would get the nod. A hook is something that lifts you up, out of, and over the pool of equally qualified applicants, and oftentimes even more qualified applicants. Recruited athlete. URM. Fame of self, or fame of parents. World class achievement in area of academic or artistic pursuit.[/quote]
