[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, you don't need a hook. You need to be very good and have a little luck on your side.[/quote] Agree. And “very good” is not synonymous with 4.0 and 1600 SAT—I think that’s actually what’s causing people to go crazy and assume you can’t get in unhooked. “Very good” increasingly seems synonymous with “special,” meaning distinct/appealing in the combination of attributes an applicant brings—leadership, intellectual acumen, curiosity, engagement, work ethic, ability to make a meaningful contribution to the campus community, etc. [/quote]
