probably won’t get in. i doubt it.

you come off somewhat snobbish for one. just say duck-billed platypus. no one needs to know the scientific name except you. just place it in parentheses.

for stating a minority is a hook, you’re actually incorrect.

make sure you emphasize zoology as your main hook, because it seems like the only thing you’re interested in.

academically, you’re fine… although it looks like just another application.
