Question on "Hooks"

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>I don't have any "hooks" really going for me, like URM, first generation, etc. But would a small town in southern Oregon be a hook? It seems like it would be an underrepresented area, so...</p>

<p>Thanks. All input appreciated!</p>

<p>if the school you plan on going to doesn’t have to many students from Oregon then yea its a hook. Being from an unrepresented state can really help (Wyoming).</p>

<p>My hook is being The Hairy Lemon. ^_____^</p>

<p>I also have a question… Would colleges in the US still consider me as a “first generation” even though my parents went to college in the Philippines but not here in the US?</p>

<p>Mr. Krabs can tell you a little something about hooks:</p>

<p>lol, please. Unless you grew up at sea or in the desert or on one of the Poles, the place you come from is not a hook. It’s not like any adcom will hesitate to reject you just because you’re from southern Oregon.</p>

<p>Um, yeah, obviously if my resume is pathetic being from southern Oregon won’t help; however, geographical residence can be a, hence the name, “hook” to boost you that teency-weency bit.</p>
