"Hook": I'm Jewish and I know exactly what I want.

Oh, I forgot:

Rank: 42/445
Top 10%

And I'm applying ro Gtown College for a major in sociology. I'm hoping for law school after.

I'm very sorry but your chances are awful. Your scores are abysmally low (whenever you have 500's, you're in hot water), your GPA is weak and your "hook" isn't a hook at all. A lot of the applicants are Jewish. Your strength: you know what you want to do and if you used your AP-Lang-5 rhetoric, that might squeeze you in.

Ah well, it was pipe dream anyway.

I wouldn't be able to go (most likely) anyway even if I was accepted. Too much money and no chance of aid.

And being Jewish is technically a "hook" in a Christian based school that wishes to "diversify." In theory. XD

Thanks for being honest though.

Thats not cool, you definitely have a shot

I have a 790 CR, 750 W, 600 M (best)

and an 87% GPA unweighted.

i've taken 6 APs.

And I got into Dartmouth with a likely letter and the London School of Economics.

And hell, I'm jewish!

So think before you say things like that.
