I don’t think the enormous weight of a “hook” can be overlooked in the admissions process. Ethnicity, race, national origin, special talent, difficult upbringing, financial problems and home state can greatly influence the reaction of adcoms to a person’s application. At the same time, not having a hook can mean an applicant will very possibly be held to a higher standard. Can you think of any hook you may have had, reader345, which might have tipped the scales in your favor?

Hook or no hook, congrats on your acceptance to Wellesley!
