<p>That looks more like simply enthusiastic typing and holding down the shift key too long...</p>
<p>Btw. I'm not dyslexic either, my keybaord is wonky and skips letters sometimes</p>
<p>dyslexics, all of you!!</p>
<p>heck, i wanted to be one :( so whenever i see typing or writing incosistencies i blame it on... you guessed it... dyslexia. </p>
<p>hmm. it's not for nothing that they made this word so hard to type.</p>
<p>okk....i think from hooks to dyslexia, we've gone a long way. lets get some useful info on this thread!</p>
<p>hook- I used to be dyslexic?
7 years of Kathak+ sarod (they sure didnt work at harvard)</p>
<p>Only hook I have is a lot of (non-forced :) )community/volunteer work. Is that even a hook?</p>
<p>i might be the rare oridnary guy in the pool of equally unique applicants ;)
My hooks....
Bad essays,
late applications
poor grades in the last two years..
....
any other hooks would have worked if the above three things hadnt been there....</p>
<p>is submitting an app late a disadvantage? cuz i submitted it on the last possible day.. actually about 10mins before the post office closed :P
i thought it was ok as long as the postmark did not exceed the deadline..</p>
<p>that is not bad Stauch. at least you have approached the deadline and i don't think that admission officers are going to look at your mailing date...
hook: science olympiads and project competitions.</p>
<p>is having cut an album with a group of friends considered a hook? (2 of my songs were published in that album) i'm not really sure! i did come in runner-up in a song-writing competition though. will colleges be interested in this 'hook'?</p>
<p>lol naw. Wish i was, it would have been my hook.. oh well. I normally DO THis when i am typing really carelessly. SOrry If it BOthers you soo MUch.</p>
<p>why is being dyslexic a hook? disability? Is being disabled a hook?
actually, what is dyslexia? I thought it was when you cant write properly because your hand doesn't co ordinate wit your brain or smething..</p>
<p>yep you kind of got it. Furthermore disability is a hook in colleges in a reallly really sad way. I shouldnt have said it, i take it back my bad.</p>
<p>dyslexia isn't cool guys, people have real problems with this. It's a disruption in the brain signals, not necessarily having to do with writing badly. Though dyslexics often do. You mix up the order of letters in a word when you write and read them, your 'word-image' is often distorted (non-dyslexic people can 'see' what a word is without reading the letters individually, dyslexics often cannot.)</p>
<p>so stop acting like this is a cool 'hook'. it's difficult. In the pas whn not much was known about t a lot of people with dyslexia were mistaken for stupid.</p>
<p>oks fwoukje. i didn't know it could be that serious. sorry if i offended anyone.</p>
<p>It's okay, i am surprised people don't know a lot about dyslexia...there's also a variety with numbers, dyscalculy....</p>
<p>try and google for it if you want to know more.</p>
<p>i bet callthecops totally hates me now for taking the thread OT :p</p>
<p>lol. exactly. guys. PLEASE lets get this back on track!</p>
<p>ok my final hooks which didnt work</p>
