[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm seeing that the definition of "hook" might vary. -Top grades -Top scores -Awards -Leadership -Volunteer -Strong eval teachers / alum -URM / UR rural area [/quote] Only the last is a hook.[/quote] Some awards could be hooks. Like winning a major science fair, being a Coca-Cola Scholar, etc.[/quote] That’s an accomplishment, not a hook.[/quote]. Call it what you want but have a very pointy accomplishment showing deep, sustained interest and talent at something. Music, sports, science, dance, writing, debate, art, etc. Most of these students at these places that are not big donors or nepo kids have some crazy high talent in one particular discipline. Really sell that in the application.[/quote]
