What's considered a Harvard hook?

^ If he’s not an imposter :D.

But I guess if you have a rec from a former Harvard professor you might “receive an additional look in a group of similarly distinguished applicants.” (Harvard FAQ Website) (And yes. I used their wording from the website. I cited my reference though, so it’s not plagiarism.)

Honestly, at the vastly distinguished pool of applicants Harvard has, I really am not sure what a ‘hook’ is nowadays. Virtually all of their applicants are geniuses. Good luck though, Liam Neeson! :)
