<p>I'm an orm (asian), but would this offset it: to a majority of the schools I'm applying too, I'm from an underrepresented geographic region (southwest). And also, would that be a minor hook or anything? For example, at one school, out of a freshman class of 4,650, only 100-249 are from my state. This is the second to last tier of the number of enrolled students they get from the different states.</p>
<p>No, from what I’ve learned on this site I don’t believe those are hooks.</p>
<p>MirrorImage is correct, that would not be a hook. A tip factor, if anything at all.</p>
