<p>to be honest, i’d say unless u’re a world class person, 2000 and a 29 is the minimum</p>

<p>jimmy choo, from last year’s ED thread had three things working against him last year: Asian, International, and a mere 2020 on the SAT. His hook had to be AMAZING because he managed to get in last year. I’m thinking his parents are international celebrities?</p>

<p>is his dad Jimmy Choo, the maker of those expensive sandals that celebrities wear? those things are off the hook. –> <a href=“http://www.jimmychoo.com/pws/Home.ice[/url]”>http://www.jimmychoo.com/pws/Home.ice&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>if so, then that may be the case. otherwise theres no other way he would’ve gotten in.</p>

<p>well, let’s not be kidding ourselves here. This kid masters five languages, did relatively well on the British exams, AND his dad is a freakin’ crazy person for the celebrities. And of course, he’s an Englishman, an English gentleman after all.</p>

25

<p>ummmm…maybe its the 5 languages that he’s fluent in??</p>

26

<p>Wat if u know 4 languages fluently, is that a hook?</p>

27

<p>Well, if u know 4 languages fluently, it’s an advantage, but not a hook. I know people with 5 languages (myself included), but councelors in my school keep telling us that it is NOT a hook.</p>

<p>how would the adcoms know if an applicant or the applicant’s parents are celebrities?</p>

<p>I’ve heard stories about people getting into HYPSM with lower scores than yours, hopeful… I think you’ve got a fighting chance…</p>
