well . . . I think it all depends on the college. It’s much less of a hook on average for Ivies compared with athletics, apparently. Dartmouth has a history with Native American heritage. It might be relatively more interested, if your interest is in Native American studies especially. other schools will have their own wants and needs and values. I would think that your stats are great, and your ethnicity is probably somewhat of a hook. How much of a hook depends on what the individual school finds important for adding to its class.

I strongly suggest not relying on it exclusively but rather, as with unhooked applicants, finding out why that instition is a good fit for you.
