Chance me lol.

That’s NOT a hook. There are many females interested in STEM studies.

If you were applying to MIT, it would be some sort of a hook but that’s not what we’re doing here.

Asian females are said to have the most competitive and one of the largest applicant pools. With that being said, try to find a way to stand out.

You seem well rounded, I would say MX, Winsor, and CA. You have a chance with Groton and PA
