I’m applying to Penn State for their rolling admission. I’m mainly interested in a Hotel/Tourism/Hospitality Management program but would be okay with business or communications.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Congratulations on being accepted to UMass. Their Hospitality and Tourism program has a great reputation. Why are you looking for more schools to apply to? Is there something different that you are looking for?

I think that you can still apply to the University of Alabama. The have a good Hospitality program.

I just want to have more options if it’s not too late.

I looked up best hospitality schools and started checking a few of them. UNLV. You missed the priority scholarship deadline but it doesn’t look like they give great scholarships anyway. Pretty highly ranked. Northern Arizona University (maybe, can’t figure out the deadline). Michigan State has a March 31 deadline.

Asu and UArizona.

I’m international as well (Slovakia) and still didn’t get my decision

Since you’ve been admitted to UMass and don’t need financial aid, is there any reason why you wouldn’t attend? The town where it’s located (Amherst) is really cool and, with the 5-college agreement, there are lots of choices in classes&vibes and thousands and thousands of students.

D21 applied to several hospitality programs with deadlines that have definitely already passed (she got into UMASS too!).

But, here are some additional hospitality programs that I recall reading about in passing. I don’t really know anything about their selectivity and you’d have to check the deadlines. Good luck!:
Washington State University; Temple;
Fairleigh Dickenson; University of Hawaii Maui; University of Hawaii Manoa; University of Houston; Colorado State; Johnson & Wales; University of New Hampshire; Purdue; University of Central Florida.

Edited to add: you can look up the “hospitality management” major on the college factual site to come up with a list of programs.
