<p>What are my chances of gaining acceptance? If Cornell is unlikely, what are some of the other top hotel management programs?</p>
<p>I don't know how old that information is, but I think that the Hotel School has gotten MUCH more competitive in recent years. Just look at the Cornell thread here on CC, and review the stats of those who were accepted/rejected last year. The Hotel School takes only about 200 kids from across the country, and has one of the lowest acceptance rates of any school at Cornell. These days it seems that in order to be a stong candidate for the Hotel School you need the "whole package" as it pertains to grades, scores and hospitality experience (as well as personality suited for the industry). I doubt that the average ACT is a 26, but I do not believe a 29 is a bad score either, as long as you have the other factors in your favor.</p>
<p>I think that UCF has a very interesting program, and their facilities do look amazing. I am encouraging my daughter to apply there as well. And don't forget about Michigan State...excellent Hospitality program.</p>
<p>my career goal is to start up a luxury resort in a tourist destination in which underprivelaged children, poverty stricken, or those suffering from illness or disease can have a relaxing vacation away from the real world. </p>
<p>what would be the best school to begin this? still Cornell?</p>
<p>UCF does a tremendous jobs placing grads in jobs and all the businesses in the area are very involved with the program, so thats good. The bad part is, most of the students here aren't too interested in academics and the classwork is far from challenging. It just doesn't feel right to me that the classes I'm taking are easier than those in high school, but apparently businesses still fight with each other over grads so it must not be a big deal.</p>
