Chance for Hotel School?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>Hi everyone. </p>

<p>I would like to know if I have a shot at the hotel school at Cornell. I'll be applying for RD.</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>SAT: CR710, M770
Subjects: Math II 800, French 790 (I'm non native)
GPA: 3.96 UW, school doesn't do Weighted
APs (it's impossible to take any APs until 2nd semester junior year ... so no-one in my school has more than 1 or 2 APs completed) : 5 AP Micro
Senior courseload
AP Physics B
AP Chemistry
Pre-AP Calc BC & AP Calc BC
AP Human Geography
AP Statistics</p>

<p>EC:
VP DECA Club, President Key Club, President French language and culture club, VP Math Club, varsity crosscountry, tennis team captain
I've placed top 20 in the hotel lodging and management event at internationals before. I've also competed in marketing management and accounting applications.
I won multiple provincial awards for cross country as well.
Volunteering: 900 hours at various places. I'm the volunteer coordinator (responsible for 70 volunteers) at a large nonprofit organization. I also worked at the blood donation clinic.
I know I don't have many ECs and volunteering positions but I've been involved in all of them since my freshman year.</p>

<p>My recommendations are quite good, and I think I can write a good essay for the hotel school expressing my passion in the hospitality industry.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your advice in advance. :)</p>

<p>Do you have a special interest in the hospitality industry?
If not, you should aim higher with your stats.</p>

<p>I think you have a really good chance! I don’t know if you’ve done your interview yet but if you haven’t, be sure to really show your genuine passion. Hotelies can tell if you’re being fake, and are some of the nicest, hospitable people. </p>

<p>Good luck, and hope to see you in Statler next year!</p>
