Wow, that is pretty unique.</p>
<p>My hook is that I'm an asian who's bad at math. LOL.</p>
<p>Me too, and I am good at history.</p>
<p>I'm an Asian who:
- does not play a classical instrument
- hates math and science
- is not on the math team or quiz bowl
- has not participated in any science/math olympiads
- does not get straight-A's</p>
<p>would starting an organization be a hook?</p>
<p>Ya know what.....my threads endure forever!!!!!!!! I did this forever ago and look at it now! :D</p>
<p>Indeed. Thou hast found immortality in thy thread.</p>
<p>Think of it this way, apfreak.</p>
<p>Way back in 1636, a little school was founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Probably no one expected it to get off the ground or endure for over 350 years, yet somehow it survives as the school we all agonize over now! Your thread has survived in the same way.</p>
<p>If you don't get the simile, you obviously haven't been reading the topic of this thread.</p>
<p>Did anyone else notice this thread in the NYTimes?</p>
<p>Would being the son of the mayor of a major US city and a rising star in the Democratic Party be a hook? I was wondering because that is my friends situation and we all assume he will get into Harvard</p>
<p>Somebody help pleeeeeeaz
would a 9 on aime be a hook</p>
<p>a 9 on the AIME is NOT a hook...</p>
<p>NIH intern..is this a hook? So many people are doing this..</p>
<p>A hook seems like the kind of thing that, if you have one, you wouldn't really want to go to Harvard anyway. If you have already acheived so much, why bother with college?</p>
<p>NIH intern.. no. Several people from my school have researched for NIH, and to be honest, I'm not that impressed with them.</p>
<p>Hook-
something amazing that no other/very few high school students can perform</p>
<p>NIH is not a hook....</p>
<p>well, i can whistle with my hands......but i don't think H will be very impressed with that, especially considering they don't know about it.</p>
<p>heh, i'm so bored. yay for senioritis!!</p>
<p>YOU CAN WHISTLE WITH YOUR HAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>How?
I been trying to do that for the past 6 months..</p>
<p>Location? Hispanic from Western North Carolina? (the boondocks to some)</p>
<p>I AM the school newspaper. Like literally two dimensional. I'm grey and mostly consumer recycled materials.
And I brought myself from zero to hero, pretty much.</p>
<p>Hispanic = hook.</p>
<p>It's sad, but true.</p>
