<p>Hooks: Umm... I took a science class with the county's Alumni Association president, but i don't know if i'll ever meet the guy. Also, i got the Yale book award my junior year, and wrote a pretty nice thank you letter to the same Alumni Association president. </p>
<p>Strengths/Weaknesses: Two other really amazing people will apply from my school and will definitely get in before i do. Yale isn't that likely to accept 3 people from a school of 1000 (although this year they took two, but one was a legacy a billion times over and the other was basically perfect in every way. In fact, a third, very very qualified person, the salutatorian, probably didn't get in for that reason.)</p>
