<p>u know...u have like an excellent chance of working for the government...dead serious they are looking for people exactly like you good $$$ for those positions too...just a thought</p>
<p>Crumflake: no, random people dont' get invited to carnegie hall. The competition I placed top in was a national caliber competition in which the winners were invited to play in Carnegie Hall. No, just because you play a little bit in Carnegie Hall it is not a hook. But at the point where you give a PERFORMANCE there with your name on the bill as the performer, then it's pretty substantial.</p>
<p>thatindiandude, before anyone is critical of your hooks...you should mention your 8 or so 800's on standardized tests, rsi, yadda yadda yadda. wow. :)</p>
<p>ehh... u misunderstood... i wasnttryin to say anyone can do that...ehh... its pointless</p>
<p>Hey Claude, what's blitz chess? Is that the one where you have appx 5 sec. per move at about 7 simultaneous games? In school (now that we're doing nothing) I'm play "drop chess" where you play on a team, and whenever you take a piece, you give it to your partner so he can drop it on his board. it's pretty cool. Except, there are no drop mates =)</p>
<p>I recieved one patent for an item I invented in 4th grade. A second one is currently pending relating to my field of interest(new type of electric motor)</p>
<p>Hook? A Hook? Ummmm....I won a coloring contest in 2nd grade! Actually, I didn't, but I do like to color.</p>

<p>Okay so I guess my hook: there is no hook.</p>
<p>Hopefully these are hooks:</p>
<ol>

<p>I plan to major in Biology or something premed related, but am heavily involved in arts (summer art programs, am going to participate in the art show next year). Apparently, this makes me unique. xD who knew. </p>
<p>I'm also planning on taking up sitar, touching up on my Hindi (and if I can, taking the fluency test before app time!), and learning Japanese (and will be among the first to take AP Japanese at my school, I think). </p>
<p>Too bad my grades are mediocre beyond belief. XD</p>
