<p>The hotel program at Cornell could happen with your current stats. I would make sure to get some work experience in hospitality before applying.</p>

<p>UNLV would be a safety with a good hotel program.</p>

<p>Thanks! I will have to look into UNLV. Anything else? It doesn’t have to have a hotel program, but at least a business school. thanks!</p>
