<p>It could be a hook, however, there are people who have posted on the board saying their younger son or daughter applied to the same school as their older sibling, and they didn’t get in. I know of a girl who has two siblings at NMH and she wasn’t accepted.</p>
<p>Cousins are a bit of a stretch to be considered a hook unless your extended family has give considerable $$. Any buildings/facilities on campus carry the family name? :)</p>
<p>
Funny, I was just going to tell (again, I know) about the classmate of my son that has a building with the family name on it at one of the “big schools,” would have been somewhere about the 15-20th family member to attend and was not accepted last year. Of course, that’s the exception, but nothing is a guarantee.</p>
<p>Oh well, now I can’t really do anything but finish my applications and hope for the best!</p>
<p>I really think it’d be awesome if all of us got accepted and could be roomates!</p>
<p>that would be so cool! even just being accepted would be cool, though. :-)</p>
<p>Oh and if this helps,
I think I did good in all my interviews, I was interviewed about 40minutes at Choate (and it was my first one too, i’m so proud…lol 
My applications and teacher recs are good</p>
<p>that streak of genius back on the first page by me was pretty cool huh?
now im even more excited to get in! hmm itd be kinda screwed up to go (this is an example):</p>
<p>collide: hi! i just got accepted to _____ this year!
tingting25: sweet so did i!
collide: by any chance, are you tingting25?
tingting25: …wth are you?!</p>
<p>haha =) im being crazy again</p>
<p>lol…we all wanna get accepted so bad!
i wish the schools had more room so more ppl can go</p>
<p>Just have to put my word in this thread.</p>
<p>Choate = Amazing</p>
<p>p.s did you get interviewed by Mr.Diffley?</p>
<p>I agree, Choate is my first choice</p>
<p>No, I got interviewed by Mr. Dennehy</p>
<p>Hmm, never heard of him. Interview went well? Good luck on getting in! If you do, you have to do second visits. Fun stuff. Im a Choatie right now. =P</p>
<p>Thanks, I hope I get in</p>
