<p>Would training and teaching seeing-eye dogs be considered a nice hook or at least something that truly stands out for the admissions committee?</p>
<p>Not a hook, but definately something more unusual and would make for a good essay. The key is truely being interested in what you do. Sounds like a lot of fun!</p>
<p>It takes a lot of work to train seeing eye dogs. It would definitely be an impressive EC.</p>
<p>What a terrific EC! Very time consuming, I’m sure, but very rewarding. I’d do it in a heartbeat. I’d have trouble giving the puppy up, though.</p>
<p>My roommate next year does that! Last year I got to hear lots of stories from her parents back home and pictures of their dogs and new owners :)</p>
