<p>:)
I dont know about your chances, but i definitely would not put
"prom prince 2007" as an award.</p>

3

<p>but maybe , that i am active in school life? i don't know . what do others think? my chances plz~~</p>

<p>You say you have passion...in what? I see nothing that indicates you have an understanding or any experience in the hospitality industry. Your EC's are all over the place (sports...chess club...mock trial...first responder...math team).</p>

<p>yeah i agree, there's not much hospitality/hotel/restaurant or any of the other hospitality related industries in here. Maybe your summer internship? Also, are you an international student applying from Korea? If you are, then the 1900 i guess is understandable, and if not, I think that that will impact your decision alot. But on the other hand, I do not really know how they quantify or determine the admissions for International Students.</p>

<p>.....where is your EC that shows "the passion"?</p>

<p>I would say your SATs may shorten your chances, but the decision also depends on your essays, subject tests, class rank, etc.</p>
