<p>anyone? need help</p>

<p>if you truly have a 2400, I think you are a good contender at any ivy... however, sat's aren't everything, your ECs should be good including essays and reccs. Do you have a hook?</p>

4

<p>whats a hook?</p>

<p>i have a decent amount of ecs</p>

<p>do you think my gpa will be an issue?</p>

5

<p>yeah you really need to increase your gpa and sat2 scores.. a hook is something that really stands out- research, hardcore dedication to an activity, underwater peruvian basket weaving, stuff like that.</p>

6

<p>if i got my gpa up to a 3.8 do you think i could get in?</p>

<p>does it count as a hook if i work almost full time and make a decent amount of money (similar to what adults make)?</p>

7

<p>yes, if you work a real job and maker decent money this is a good hook.</p>

<p>Is it something you could write your essay about?</p>

8

<p>how could u have got a 2400 when the new SAT hasnt even come out????</p>

9

<p>i got almost a 2400 on the psat :P</p>

<p>yea, i could write great essays
but was wondering if my gpa was good enough, thats my major concern</p>
