<p>hey everyone,</p>
<p>Im planning to apply to harvard EA in the fall.
My Stats are all set
(3.8 W GPA, 2350 SAT total, 800 Hebrew SATII, 790 Physcis, 790 Math CII, 800 US History, 780 World History)</p>
<p>but im worried about my chances. </p>
<p>As a hook, I will present myself as the Jewish political activist:
-I did tremendous amount of community service at my temple.
-I graduated as the first of my class from a 4 year college-oriented Jewish sunday school.
-I served as an officer for my school's Jewish Student Union and will be president for my comming senior year.
- I wrote political Analysis articles for my school paper for 3 years and as a part time co editor for my section.
-I coordinated many events in the jewish community of Boston (my town) through the youth group "Young Judea".</p>
<p>What do you guys think of this? Is it a 'hook' in your view?
What can I do to improve this image?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>
<p>That POETRY you got published is a hook-- 10,000 sold WOW THAT IS A HOOK! A hook is something Unique...I don't know of too many people that have sold that many copies of his/her own work</p>
<p>You have a great hook there, and also excellent stats...you have a great shot...(in my opinion)</p>
<p>EDIT: My opinion is not very reliable...I think Ivy Admissions are a Crapshoot, so there is never a guarantee...but you have a great shot...just not a guarenteed shot as NO ONE HAS A GUARENTEE....</p>
<p>thank you for your response. I agree with you that the poetry thing is a hook, but to be honest, i dont feel as passionately about poetry as I do about political activism/zionism. When i write my essay, what should I focus on? The politics thing ot the poetry?</p>
<p>Follow your passion, politics..
or you can: just an idea:</p>
<p>Mix them up...write a poem or two about politics...make it strong and effective...</p>
<p>you can write poems for your essay???</p>
<p>I think so (not really sure) ...but I would incorporate it into a larger body of text to add some background....</p>
<p>cool, I certainly find out if it's possible to do so.
Thank you very much for that suggestion btw.
Anybody else have any other comments/suggestions?</p>
