what is impressive?

<p>So if you are an engeneering major, and get a patent, that is sort-of a hook?
So what if you are an english major? I assume getting something published...
So how impressive does the publication have to be? (e.g. A poem in a small independant literary magazine v.s. actually getting a novel published...)??
thanks!</p>

<p>Getting a novel published will look great but not good enough for the ivies.</p>

<p>I want to major in math/architecture at UW. Since they are reviewing apps hollistically I was wondering if this would serve as a great hook. I enjoy helping my fellow classmates in math. They often come to me for help inside and outside of class. I was thinking of writing a math book/text that would help struggling students succeed in math and get it published. Would this serve as a decent hook?</p>

<p>yea u have to win the pulitzer prize</p>

<p>Who??????????????</p>

<p>I was thinking about a short and succinct book roughly around 150-200 pages that covers algebra/geometry/trigonometry.</p>

<p>Aren't there enough math books to torture everyone already?</p>

<p>I guess so... Now I need to think of a different hook. :(</p>
