Owning a business is not a hook. Nor something adcoms hope to find in applicants.
And most adults have some distrust a 16 year old can truly “teach” financial literacy, with limited life experience, still living at home.
Handle these two points wrong and you can affect your chances.
Can you elaborate on why colleges won’t find the business as a hook?
Because their first purpose is academic. And then their sense of themselves as cooperative and collaborative communities where kids grow, try new things, expand.
You misunderstand what a college admit hook is.
Don’t be misled by the number of kids who write a chance me thread all out how much money they make, how influential they are, etc. When colleges describe what they look for, it’s not “built a business” or “made more than other kids.”
