<p>Thanks to everyone else who replied, I really appreciate all of the helpful responses. I’m currently too busy studying to respond but I will try to get back and do so soon. </p>
<p>I guess I wasn’t entirely sure what a “hook” exactly was, I just assumed it was something impressive and unique that would have some level of weight in admissions. </p>
<p>I was also just notified that I will be doing the internship in D.C. this summer 
Will be working under the guidance of some incredibly brilliant people, so that will be an awesome experience.</p>
