<p>@desperado - well, I saw your posts and you’re an international. I was gonna ask for stats but mine prob aren’t as good as yours. I think it was my GPA that did me in.</p>

<p>accepted into the hotel school</p>

<p>@everlastingwish… yes am an intl. and as far as I know, every other intl. gets deferred… only coz they want to make sure they review all applicants before giving out a decision…am just learning the hard way… my stats were not bad at all… still gotta put up with it</p>
