<p>It’s very important for applicants applying to the Hotel School of Administration to have done some work ate either a hotel or a restaurant. Your SAT I scores are below average for an ORM and your Bio SAT II score is a bit low. However, universities do like it if you have an elected position in the student council (especially if it’s a public school). As of right now, I would say for you to get a restaurant job/hotel internship as soon as possible.</p>

<p>Applicants to the Hotel school really need to demonstrate their interest in the hospitality field. You really haven’t shown any evidence of this interest from what you wrote above. AdComs will wonder if you are simply applying to the Hotel school because it is the easiest to get into and then transfer later. If they sense this, you will be sent to the reject pile.</p>

<p>So tell us, what makes you want to go to Hotel school? </p>
