[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I didn't say that a hook is not an advantage. I said that a hook is not *just* an advantage; it is more. The rest of your post addresses arguments that someone else made upthread, not I. [/quote] This is actually interesting. If I read you correctly, an "advantage" gives your application a little more weight against other applications in the general pile. Example: the kid with an advantage gets in over another kid despite slightly lower SATs. Whereas a "hook" gets you taken out of the general pile and considered separately. Example: athletic recruit or legacy. Interesting to learn something new. Are you one of the college admissions people who frequents DCUM?[/quote] A hook and an advantage is synonymous. If you're referring to an ethnicity hook, it works just like a legacy or athletic recruitment advantage. [/quote]
