<p>Hi,</p>

<p>To keep this post short, I wish to know please how to maximize my chances of transfering into the hotel school. This program did not interest me until recently. </p>

<p>I am currently an engineering student (weird eh? i know). My GPA and SATs and other "marks" should be enough to transfer. My most notable ECS are starting and running a marketing research firm (feel free to ask for details), establishing the town youth council (working with both the city council and many notable non profits) as well as organizing a series of seminars on entreprenership and a summer camp. I also sit of the board of a few advisory committees. </p>

<p>My only problems are 1)my curriculum and the hotel school are as distinct as venus and mars. 2) The only "work experience" in the hospitality industry is in working with a few clients that run restaurants.</p>

<p>Any suggestions (sorry its rather late and night and i'm quite tired).</p>

<p>get a job in a restaurant/hotel/hospital or maybe at the statler if you can? Try and have it complement your hospitality goals. If you want to run a restaurant later on, don't get a job at a hospital... so yea, work experience seems to be the big thing. and practice talking to people you aren't familiar and confortable with if you're not the most outgoing type.</p>
