<p>An unhooked applicant with your stats and EC’s is unlikely to be admitted. Do you have any hooks or mini-hooks?</p>

4

<p>Cousins don’t count for legacy.</p>

5

<p>what do you mean hooks or mini hooks?</p>

6

<p>Hook= recruited athlete,URM,family connection, true accomplishment at something</p>

<p>mini-hook= legacy,first to go to college,poverty/single parent family ,compelling person story</p>

<p>This is not a complete list and it varies from school to school.</p>

<p>yes then, i have a hook and mini hooks. hopefully they use a truly holistic review protocol.</p>

<p>thank you so much!</p>
