How important are hooks for ivy league colleges?

Idk, there’s no need to be…rude about it? I’ve never stated that I wanted to get into an ivy league nor did I ever state that I was aiming for an ivy league? Heck, I’m already IN college.

The sole purpose of this thread was to get context around the “exclusiveness” of ivy leagues. It’s easier to ask anonymously on the internet than to go around campus and ask for different opinions.

Overall, the negativity in this thread is rather uncalled for? I’m not sure if everyone on this site is an ivy league reject waiting to demolish another potential applicator’s dreams of some sort but save words like “you don’t seem to get what it does take” for later.
