[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] First generation college student, and pell grant eligible are both very valuable hooks right now. I keep hearing that. [b]But DS freshman at an Ivy is surrounded by rich white kids.[/b] Which schools are upping their numbers considerably for the first gen and/or Pell student? [/quote] I would echo this question and include URM students. We were discussing this at Christmas dinner with a family member who also said their Ivy was mostly rich white kids and Asian students. [/quote] That was our observation at a couple campuses DD was admitted to as well. I find it strange that some are so purist about hooks, and that they go to race first. A hook is whatever the college wants to fill the class. The problem is knowing what they want! Mine loves her art and earned national acclaim. I would say that functioned as a hook for her.[/quote]
