<p>like what many people will tell you, you don't find ways to distinguish yourself. you just do.</p>
<p>And community service is <em>bloody</em> boring.</p>
<p>lol. thanks guys for the comments. yeah maybe i need to find my way. someday it will "come" (?)</p>
<p>ugh...this is making me nervous. my hook is that my junior grades were pretty bad. don't even know why i applied to harvard last night..</p>
<p>do you think cheerleading will be a good hook?</p>
<p>me too. how much time do we have until the last update? march? or feb?</p>
<p>so a hook is low income?? Would they already know your low income, or would you have to write about it in an essay??</p>
<p>Would this count? </p>
<p>I have been on a few nationally broadcast radio shows as well as a winner of the World Piano Competition for the highest level possible. I got accepted to the Juilliard Summer Music Academy in Germany, which only accepts 70 conservatory students from all over the world at the age of 14, the youngest ever. I know that isnt on the level of RSI probably, but would that still count as a hook?</p>
<p>I think that would count</p>

<p>lol, are you kidding? That's incredible - of course it's a hook!</p>
<p>No, that's totally average. I mean, you're competing against at least two or three other people in the world who might have similar piano accomplishments. You should have just stuck with Harvard's auto-admit, RSI ;)</p>
<p>I am from international multicultural low-income family, from the country with not too many applicants. I appeared on the 1st channel in the intellectual program as the best senior of the nation, and all won money were spent for charity!</p>
<p>Yeah yeah good, you'll probably get in etc. etc.</p>
<p>VeritaSeeker, I like your user name, very clever. You should let Harvard know about this.</p>
<p>Just regarding the stats of Thelittleone, I looked up his previous posts(as he has few anyway), and saw A LOT of inconsistencies in his posts. The most glaring being that in one thread he called himself an Asian Indian and in another he called himslef a Chinese. He also purportedly took the sat in 7th grade and gotten a 1350(which is amazing by any standards), yet he started a thread asking about the psat and whether or not points are eliminated if questions are answered incorrectly. </p>
<p>And is it possible to be captain of science olympiad team as a sophomore?</p>
<p>Don't get me wrong though. If this person actually exists, then he/she is AMAZING. Any internationally renowned musician at his/her age is basically yoyoma caliber. In that case, I don't know why this person would even worry about getting accepted into a prestigious school. Anyway, if your stats really are as impressive as you claim, good luck littleone.</p>
<p>oh oh i took it in 7th grade and got a 1250.</p>
<p>im cool too! look at me!</p>
<p>haha. nah im cool being just me...God.</p>
<p>Is being a black european entrepreneur a hook?</p>
<p>Especially if you're a legacy recruited athlete.</p>
<p>Well, as for me I have no athletical skills. But I'm good at soccer :P</p>
<p>You mean football ;)</p>
