<p>[plus it accomplishes part of my plan for rebuilding HSL :b ]</p>
<p>Mine (in addition to generic CC grades, test scores, etc):</p>
<p>Being from rural Maine - geographic diversity ftw</p>

<p>Nothing–maybe female in science and parent from a foreign country but I wouldn’t consider those significant hooks if hooks at all.</p>
<p>Uhhhh I have no hook. Does being a first generation US college student count? My parents didn’t go to school here.</p>

<p>I’m a lazy ■■■■■■■…is that considered a hook?</p>
<p>^^,^ probably? </p>
<p>idk, there are a million people from Maine, but I think it still helped me get into college and my help me RD too, so who knows what works as a hook :]</p>

<p>I have JROTC too…wouldn’t exactly call it a hook though unless you’re the Corps Commander or something.</p>
<p>Stupid question, but what the heck is JROTC?</p>

<p>It’s pretty much a prep class for the military. It’s a big help in getting a ROTC scholarship, which covers 100% tuition (that’s why I’m taking it).</p>
<p>^^^I think they’ll see that as an anti-hook, realizing you’re not in the <<<typical ccers=“” club=“”>>></typical></p>
<p>^^if you necro threads, you’ll see how pimped out it was from November-December 2009 and Jun 2008 - Feb 2009 compared to the empty days of a week or two ago
I started a thread to right this failure of communication</p>

<p>"What do you mean by rebuild HSL? "</p>
<p>HSL is so much more lame now that it was a year ago.</p>
<p>Please. The typical CCers club has like two or three members. The Non-CCers club has way more meaning it is way harder to manage.</p>
<p>My hook would be that I am Chinese? We are the biggest URMs in college by far.</p>
<p>^^it’s more selective. You reject applicants that are OVERqualified.</p>

<p>Who did we reject that was overqualified?</p>
<p>I am Akon, therefore I have many hooks.</p>
<p>Shorty drop her to the ground like she ain’t got manners</p>
<p>Can’t nothing stop me now, I’m gonna touch the sky</p>
<p>and so on.</p>

<p>I dont have a hook but I’m not asian! Then again I’m not URM sooo…</p>
<p>I think I have some unique EC’s that might tip the scales… :D</p>
<p>Closest thing is Intel STS semifinalist, and 28th nationally in quiz bowl maybe? But neither of those is a hook by any means.</p>
