I didn’t really have a hook, except for most of my ECs were law-related and showed extreme interest in law, however, I guess that wasn't enough of a "hook." I also played football and rugby, not that those are related to law...lol. My main weakness would probably be that I'm taking most of my APs senior year. Although, because of the way schedules work at my school and school policy, that's what most people do; I don't know of any other glaring weaknesses.
Anyway, I'd like to say congrats to those who were accepted, good luck in RD for those who were deferred, and condolences to those who were denied (I know how you feel).
Who knows, if I get into Bowdoin and decide to go, then maybe I'll be able to visit one of those infamous Alpha Delta fart parties.
