[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]splitting hairs, no?[/quote] No, it's not splitting hairs to explain why something is not the hook that people think it is. People misunderstand the meaning of "hook" in college admissions and therefore misuse the term. [/quote] This outside source includes race/ethnicity in the list of common "hooks." http://www.petersons.com/college-search/hooks-influence-college-acceptance.aspx[/quote] Thanks, PP. In my family's college app experience (non recruited athletes/legacy), being AA isn't much of a hook when applying to the ivies or highly-selective SLACS from STA/NCS without a competitive package (grades-gpa over 3.5, test scores, leadership, etc.).
