<p>Hey what would be a good HOOK if u know what i mean for getting into these here fancy pantsy ivy leaguers</p>
<p>Well, what do you have in mind? Many of them aren't things that applicants have control over.</p>
<p>well i do know sum1 at Dartmouth which is a start but i only know him through my uncle and i dont truly <em>know</em> him yet but how much would sumthing like that help a guy? if lets say i had a 3.5 gpa and good ECs but slightly above avergae SAT scores</p>
<p>From what I've gathered, "connections" really depend upon two things: how much (financial) pull this connection has at a school, and how much this person is willing to advocate for you/is willing to threaten to withdraw funds/knows you. In general, then, the connection just isn't it's all cracked up to be.</p>
<p>I hope having my own company is a hook: check out <a href="http://www.strikegold.tk%5B/url%5D">www.strikegold.tk</a> - <em>shamelessly advertising</em></p>

<p>I usually contact my customers personally, and they check out the site to see the options available - and I have people who have invested a total of $60,000, so i DO get customers!</p>
