<p>What are some examples of "hooks"? Ive seen many things... like URM and such. Im a white male from MN with a $60,000 income bracket. My bro goes to Caltech, and my parents both wen to St Cloud. Do i have any "hooks"?</p>
<p>I think being a legacy student can be a hook, so if you’d go to Caltech or St. Cloud, that could be a legacy hook. Hah I’m from MN too, and I have cousins that went to St. Cloud State.</p>
<p>But Caltech famously doesn’t give legacy boost. No seeming hooks at first glance, LoF.</p>
<p>Well I don’t know about Caltech, I was just saying that in general a legacy can be a hook. Even if you don’t have that, you might still have the legacy hook to St. Cloud, not that it’s hard to get into or anything.</p>
