being a child from this president is automatic rejection</p>
<p>well ultimate hooks include finding the cure for cancer, AIDS, flu, ending world hunger, stopping global warming......</p>
<p>theres no real ULTIMATE hook. but those other hooks that other posters have mentioned r pretty impressive although they wont necessarily guarantee u a spot in a college</p>
<p>actually they would guarantee u bc every college would like to claim they have that person n such u kno..</p>
<p>Rich Celebrity Status?</p>
<p>15 ivies? Kaznack, your sarcasm is so obvious. Actually, if you were the child of one of the ivies' admissions director, you would be virtually guaranteed admission.</p>
<p>^ No would probably cause issues, it just asks for the media to call conspiracy. Perhaps that's why Marilee Jones' daughter went "to a great school on the West Coast" as opposed to going to MIT!</p>

<p>Barbara Bush - Yale

You have to pass AMC 12 or AMC 10 first to qualify for AIME. You take AMC/AIME/USAMO at your school.

<p>You can also take it at a nearby college that offers it. There was last year's list somewhere on the website stupidkid posted.</p>
<p>funny how canada doesnt have these competitions...all i gotta do is shad valley and get an internship job at a prestigous chemical company that MIT students get feeded to and im in...so if you want a hook like me, say that ur 15 year old who got accepted to work a chemical engineering job and got paid. For canadians, this is the best thing we got since we dont have prestigous awards etc. An award doesnt say anything mainly cuz u got it based on a number in school...i know people who are insanely smart but dont care about numbers and stuff.</p>
<p>I got about a 90% change of getting the internship job really...so im a shoe in if i wrote shad valley intern for MIT...mainly cuz MIT has heard of it.</p>
