[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meaning none of these: legacy, athlete, FGLI/Questbridge, donor/celeb/VIP kids. What are they looking for? Do normal people get in with highest SAT, GPA, top rigor and not oversubscribed majors (not comp sci, engineering, business, eco, pre med)? [/quote] The kid from my flyover meh high school who got in isn't really hooked but he does have older siblings and parents in academia. He was able to get a research position in high school at another college in the summer. He wasn't even top of the class. Not an athlete. Just a curious kid who caught an AO's attention.[/quote] Being from a flyover state is a hook.[/quote] That doesn’t meet the definition of a hook. It’s a weight on the scale but a student from North Dakota doesn’t get put in a separate bucket the way actual hooked applicants do. [/quote]
