Hooks and anti-hooks

<p>overall, is this applicant a hooker or unhooked or negatively hooked?</p>

<p>-asian male in cali
-divorced parents, lives with single mother.
-low income</p>

<p>are you considered first generation college if the parent you live with hasn’t gone to college? but the other parent has a college education.</p>

<p>totally unhooked, sorry :(</p>

<p>asian=one in a million
male= well, one in two
california= look at the size of that state!
divorced parents= one in a million in this day and age
single mother= see above
low income= one in a million</p>

<p>that wouldn’t really be first generation</p>

<p>No, its not considered first generation.
And yeah, I agree with the poster above. Totally unhooked. But don’t let that get you down…</p>

<p>If he was low income he should have applied to questbridge which would have given him a slight edge. And if you are deferred questbridge and reapply I heard you can mark questbridge applicant which again gives you an edge over other applicants. but nothing that will make a dramatic difference</p>

<p>“is this applicant a hooker?” rofl</p>

<p>I think that once colleges see that you’re asian, they turn a blind eye to any socioeconomic disadvantages. After all, they still have their quotas for us in place.</p>

<p>umm, the fact that you’re asian living in cali is not a hook, but if you expand upon your family/financial situation somewhere in your apps (preferably in your essays), then yes, it could be a hook. Have you looked into questbridge yet? If you’re a US citizen then you should def. look into the questbridge program.</p>

<p>

Hookerdom is definitely a hook.
I agree that being Asian in California is not the best.</p>
