<p>That is a hook probably.</p>
<p>I definetely see hook potential in ur case, cavalier. It all depends on if u sharpen it and really drive it home.</p>
<p>lol. how about from a small city beside the city of vancouver? :P i dont think anyone has gotten in there for years if not decades.</p>
<p>Same as the geographical advantage then.
That's cool</p>
<p>i'm from smalltown, west tennessee. my school had a legacy get in a few years ago, but other than that, no one's gotten in.</p>
<p>I applied Ed; sent the paper app with ups on nov 1, is that bad/crazy?...huh? i know it's not good anyway...</p>
<p>I want to BA math , and my hooks are two silver medals at the intl math olympiad... aaah, if they only were gold... there is this myth (among some friend with silver at the IMO that are now at pton) that gold eases things a lot... i dunno...</p>
<p>4 bse-12 ba-1 undecided</p>
<p>Sent my App Priority on October 26 for ED. </p>
<p>I guess I have a bunch of small 'hooks'</p>
<p>I live on a U.S. Air Force Base in Germany.
Lived in 4 different countries, 2 different states.
Biracial with a Korean mother and White father.
Father never went to college, mother never finished high school.
Not very rich... (I believe my father pulls in $50k, max)
Captain, MVP, All conference, etc in Football. (How many Asians do you know play football, let alone excel huh?)</p>
<p>I hope I can at least catch their attention with some of that. </p>
<p>Geographical advantage, maybe?
There can't be that many American citizens applying from military bases...
hopefully....</p>

<p>I'm starting to feel like I've known everybody for a long time~~</p>
<p>lol but isn't that a nice feeling though?
Although it'll be sad because unless we get in, we probably will never meet =/</p>
<p>it's weird, i have ideas in my head of what everyone looks like... i hope next fall they can all be verified (or more is the case, discarded and replaced with better ones) :)</p>
<p><em>crosses fingers, toes, etc etc that we'll all be at pton next fall</em> (except what else is there to cross? legs is sort of like small child trying not to pee.... wow i am losing it, too late at night and too much more of my captain's speech to write)</p>
<p>lol hahah small child trying not to pee...great imagery there. </p>
<p>I know what you mean though. I listen to the radio, and there's this person who just sounds like he'd look a certain way to me, and even after I saw his picture, I just couldn't replace the image I had of him...</p>
<p>yeah, it's kind of refreshing not to have appearance play any role in interactions, but it's odd all the same... i mean, at my school, even friends tend to bear resemblence to each other. i read this great line in some humor book once about teenage girls sorting themselves out by the amount of eye makeup they wear coupled with their breast size, and you know how things are humorous because they have a grain of truth to them? well...</p>
<p>haha....hilarious....but really makes u think....</p>
<p>im pretty hot...so if that helps...</p>
<p>haha I'm glad you're so modest, ilcapo. actually i don't know even if you're a boy or girl so i don't really have a mental picture of you, although when forming one i will be sure to keep your hotness in mind <em>grins</em></p>
<p>economics or biology haha kinda different majors oh well</p>
<p>Kebree (and any other artists on the board) should make sketches of what she (they) think(s) we loook like. It'd be fun to compare imagined v. real if we all ended up getting in.</p>
<p>I, being the composer I am, imagine you all in snippets of melodies. It's kinda weird, actually, but kind of cool. Sort of fits your online personality :)</p>
