<p>hi. i am a one who want to go to cornell hotell school. and i am a freshman, but i wil be a sophomore soon. iam from other country, but i will get a green card soon.</p>
<p>can i know that how much do i have to get gpa,sat1,sat2 scores in order to get into cornell??</p>
<p>and in my freshman year, i took ESL classes and regular classes. but my freshman year gpa is bad. it is 3.44</p>
<p>and iam going to take two honors and 5 regular classes in sophomore i think.</p>
<p>but my school offers 20 ap classes.
do i have to take many ap classes..? cuz you see, my scool offers many ap classes even though it is a public school. i think i will take 3 or 4 classes both junior and senior years.( not each 3 or 4 classes. i think one class for junioor and 3 ap classes for senior)</p>
<p>if anyone got into hotel school, please please leave your gpa and sat score!</p>
<p>Why don’t you work on getting your English down before you worry about what scores you need. Plus, Hotel places a lot more emphasis on experience than grades and scores. Relatively speaking.</p>
<p>I strong disagree with ^. The Hotel School is quite focused on GPA and SAT, especially for transfer students. I have friends who attend the school and say that admissions is essentially “pulling from the top.” The Hotel School will accept people with higher stats and little to no hospitality experience than applicants with mediocre stats and a great deal of hospitality experience. I was rejected from there twice, btw, and had an abundance of experience with moderately-strong credentials.</p>
<p>…RELATIVELY speaking, as in, your stats don’t need to be probably AS HIGH as something like engineering if you can make up for it with experience. Most my hotel friends had GOOD stats, but not as high as my CAS or Eng friends usually, and on the flip side, they had a lot more working experience than my CAS or Eng friends.</p>
<p>How does CALS fit into this equation? I am reapplying to Cornell one last time, but going for Viticulture and Enology (my current major) at CALS.</p>
<p>CALS is probably easier to transfer into than CAS, but because I don’t think you’re a NY state resident, I don’t think it’ll be that much easier than any other school to transfer into.</p>
<p>Although they could have been a bit more tactful, the other posters are correct in stating that you need to become much more fluent in English, as you will have to take the TOEFL or IELTS as part of your admissions package. However, don’t be discouraged, because you have at least 2 full years before you will be applying. You can get the level of fluency you need with more study and lots of practice.</p>
<p>Do you understand that Cornell is one of the most competitive universities in the USA? The acceptance rate for the university overall is only 21%. The mid-range for the SAT Reasoning Test is 630-730 CR and 670-770 M and for the ACT is 29-33. </p>
<p>And the Hotel School is even more selective than that, due to its limited enrollment. That means that you will have to be near the top of your high school class – at least in the top 10% – in order to be a viable candidate. Your grades need to be outstanding from here on out (as close to all A’s as you can get) and you really do need to take a very rigorous course load. Taking just a few honors and AP classes does not show that you are up to the challenging curriculum you will find at the Hotel School, particularly when your school does offer so many AP classes.</p>
<p>In addition to working on your academics, you will also need to get some actual work experience in the hospitality industry. Cornell is specifically looking for that in Hotel School applications (to make sure you can handle the workload) and 85% of those accepted do have such work experience. Perhaps you can find a part-time or summer job at a local hotel/resort or restaurant.</p>
<p>I would also encourage you to look for other universities offering hotel/hospitality management majors that are less selective than Cornell. Go ahead and apply to Cornell if that is your dream school, but be sure to have some more realistic alternatives as well.</p>
<p>Additionally, its unlikely that you will have a great shot with your current course load. In a school where there are 20 aps offered, taking just one junior year could be perceived as not challenging yourself. At the same time keep in mind that there is nothing wrong with going to a school that has a little less name recognition but that will still offer a great education.</p>
