<p>What is a "hook" exactly with college admissions?</p>
<p>have you searched this oft discussed topic here on CC?</p>
<p>i believe that it’s something that the school can benefit from you… ie an athlete, tuba player, cheerleader, etc whatever they need during a given year</p>
<p>this is what I meant to ask-
Im the first URM to become Valedictorian at my school… could that help in admissions?</p>
<p>nk9230: you have 436 posts and know what “URM” means. And you don’t have any notion what a “hook” is?</p>
<p>Curious.</p>
<p>OP</p>
<p>Clearly you are bored, having finished your Columbia, MIT etc apps…</p>
