<p>First I’ll address your questions</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Diversity is your end goal. Hooks bring about diversity- in whatever angle that might be. National awards- if prestigious enough, will definitely be a tip- but I doubt they will be a hook. A strong arts supplement can definitely be a tip as well; but how strong is it really in comparison to all the other arts supplements being sent in?</p></li>
<li><p>I’m not sure if marking off “top few in my career” for all the boxes is realistic. That might just be me, but I would actually look down upon it- perhaps there is the super human though. The recs aren’t supposed to be over glorified praises (even though most are)- but more so an outside view on yourself. Get my drift?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>See if the answers make sense- I’m delirious and its past midnight, been on adrenaline from today’s Yale interview… lol</p>
