[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]hook as talked about on here or on any other college board is: -legacy -faculty kid -athlete -recruited athlete. It's not to say that being the world's top Rubik's cuber or starter of 10 non-profits won't help with admissions--just that these sort of things are not "HOOKS" [/quote] Oops. Error in my post. I write athlete twice in lieu of URM. [/quote] Faculty kid is questionable - the largest flagship in the country (UC system), with probably 6 of the Top 50 schools in the country, doesn't give a rip if you have a parent bringing in millions of dollars of research revenue, and they certainly don't care about the adjunct guy teaching one class each quarter.[/quote] I don't know anything about the UC system, but I can say with 100 percent confidence that being a faculty/staff offspring gives you a thumb on the scale at Georgetown, Princeton, and Penn. [/quote]
