Very few people have hooks. A hook is a person who fulfills an institutional need of a college …things like being the child of a huge donor, a recruited athlete, someone who would bring positive publicity to the college etc. If you had a hook you would know it.
While it might be a tad helpful to be from a state that gets fewer than normal applicants to Harvard that would not be a hook – Harvard always attracts not just a nation-wide but a world-wide application pool. And I would not consider a patent to be a hook unless perhaps it has famously/truly revolutionized the study of neuroscience. Again very few applicants have hooks.
Focus on making your application as strong as you can and once it is submitted move on and apply to other great colleges.
