<p>I think you have a great chance of coming to the Hotel School at Cornell. One thing that the hotel school stresses is the passion for hospitality. They ascertain that information from the interview but also from previous work experience/ extracurricular activities. It’s clear from your background that you have a definitive interest in food service. You also have a strong GPA and honors that will carry you forward. Best of luck!</p>
