<p>I think i’m pretty hookless, and i got in early. Plenty of people at yale are pretty hookless by CC standards. But they did something to attract their admissions officer’s attention. </p>
<p>I’m a WM from westchester (so overrepresented at yale and all ivies), 2350 SAT, 97.5 unweighted average. Probably the most impressive things i did in HS were a huge commitment to Science Olympiad (four years, 3 state medals), and the Columbia Science Honors Program (very competitive, 14% admit rate). But i don’t think either of those are hooks by CC standards.</p>
