<p>I reallly want to get into the Hotel School at Cornell. </p>

<p>Freshman year, was absolutely terrible. I had some personal problems and other things going on so that year my GPA was 2.6 Unweighted and 3.2, with all honor classes. I know this is absolutely terrible, and I have no one to blame but myself.
However, i made a pact to myself to do better and school. From Freshmen year on, i've taken a bunch of AP classes, and brought my GPA to around 3.4 unweighted and 4.0 weighted, which i understand is still extremely low. </p>

<p>On the SAT's i scored a total of 2230
On the SAT 2's for Math, i got a 770 and Biology i got a 720 </p>

<p>For my extracurriculars, I was in key club, chess club, electronics club, debate team, french club (president), international students organization (treasurer), French Honor Society, and National Honor Society. I also was on the Golf team and did tennis for a year.
I've also volunteered about 100 hours at a library and 100 hours at a local hospital. </p>

<p>What do you guys think? Do i stand a chance? Any advice would be great, Thanks again :D</p>

<p>Test scores are definitely competitive but I can’t really comment on your GPA since I don’t know fully why your grades were so low and how grading works at your school but I can say that colleges would much rather you get A’s in AP classes than B’s and C’s in honors classes (in other words, see an upward trend).</p>

<p>Well Hotel school looks for different things so it’ll be hard to chance.</p>
