[quote=Anonymous]Every admission cycle, the discussion around hook comes up. Having gone through it with DS last year, I have given up on the entire process of hand wringing, hook, full pay, unique talent, internship, research, good grades/test score, etc. DS wasn't interested in schools that want to see him jump through hoops just to "look" interesting. He marched to his own drum and followed his own instincts. Got good grade, cared about his community, remained a kind hearted kid through it all. We stopped worrying about whether the AO finds him interesting or if his sport is elite or niche enough. Parents, you don't have any control over any of that. Just spend the year focused on quality time, not fussing over what the AOs think and how the AOs compare your child with the next. None of it is productive. [/quote]
