<p>Hey guys!</p>
<p>I am applying to several highly selective schools (Harvard, Yale, Northwestern, etc.)</p>
<p>My stats are average to slightly above average (4.0 uw gpa, 34 act) and my ecs are good (debate, diversity club, 2 varsity sports, various other clubs, all with leadership positions)</p>
<p>I need an essay that makes me stand out. I'm a triplet -- could I use that as my "hook"?
Also -- how do I make it unique and not cliche?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Being a triplet is not hook. A hook is something that would make the colleges want you. They don’t care if you’re a triplet, unless if all of you are applying and somehow do stuff together…and that only might help.</p>
<p>To make it unique, don’t force it. Just get fervent about something and start writing. It may take awhile. Also, your initial ideas might be cliche, go with your third or fourth essay ideas.</p>
<p>lol @ 4.0 uw gpa being average
i hate this website.</p>
