<p>My son has applied to Cornell, Virginia Tech, Penn State, UNLV, University of Houston, and Johnson & Wales. Just waiting to hear from first two. If he doesnt get into Cornell, what programs are the strongest of the remaining?</p>
<p>That depends on whether the kid is committed to Hospitality Management. If he is, UNLV offers the best practical experience for obvious reasons. If not, go to Penn State.</p>
<p>Take a look at Michigan State. You still have time to apply there. That would be my second choice after Cornell.</p>
<p>You may want to post these questions on the parent's board here. There are several parents who are very well informed about hospitality programs, including several that your son is looking at.</p>
