<p>Possible Hooks
*writing is my main talent so I will be able to hopefully kick out some great essays (I've already written 1 for the UVA supplement)
*In the National Merit Scholar Program... will probably get commended but that's fine with me! (I hear in fall) - I sent this info to UVA and Kenyon College
*Will get great recommendations probably from my boss and some great teachers
*My scores on ACT, SAT, and PSAT are pretty consistent... 97th percentile
*Multinational and interesting extended family... may be good essay fodder haha</p>
