<p>Ok, there is alot more, but this is my general stats.</p>

<p>PLEASE assess my chances..and I'm in a dilemma which school to apply to: Hotel or Arts.</p>

<p>I have 90% interest in investment banking...I was actually hoping that the ivy name can bring me in the door.......I understand that Hotel's work experience requirements is strict, and I do have some experience (as shown above) but it is not hotel experience...so would the fact that I was so focused in Finance (given how i selected my internship and professional certification) that they would think I'm not suitable for hotel?</p>

<p>My career ambitions seem to match more with the arts program (I can write a better honest essay), but I dont like all the language courses in arts and I'm VERY BAD at writing. On the other hand, I had a feeling my work experience might help a bit for hotel, and the acceptance ratio looks higher, BUT I don't know how to write an essay for hotel because I never had interest in the field in the past...</p>

<p>Which program do I have more chance for? Arts (major econ) or Hotel?</p>

<p>I'd go for arts, from everything I've heard the hotel school wants to see some clear dedication to the industry. They have an amazing yield, about 80%, which indicates they are choosing industry committed students.</p>

<p>If ibanking is your goal, there are better choices than Cornell. I'd look at Duke which is in the same stats range to get into but has better WS placement.</p>

<p>Think about taking the SATs, most schools with WS access require them.</p>

<p>Why don't you apply to the applied economics and management major in CALS? That seems like it would be a great fit for you.</p>

<p>I don't have the science background...</p>

<p>I think you have a really good shot at getting into Cornell, though taking SATs may be helpful if you can. I got in as an undergraduate with much less impressive credentials.</p>

<p>Sandwich artist? Your terminology or theirs?</p>

11

<p>can you ask them to consider you for both (arts 1st choice, hotel 2nd)?</p>
