Please Chance me for Cornell Hotel School

<p>Idk if this matters, but my high school has always been in the top 20 in the country (was number one for a few years and is currently number eight) and is number one in our state. It sends about 20 kids to Cornell each year (I believe 30 or so are admitted though). Also, my brother goes to Cornell Engineering and I've heard sibling legacy is quite important but idk how important.</p>

<p>Unweighted/Weighted GPA: 3.78/4.05
SAT: Most likely around a 2150, but it might go up
My APs: AP Biology, AP Macro/Micro, AP Psych, APUSH, AP Stat, AP Calc AB, AP Gov, and AP Lang
My school doesn't do rankings</p>

<p>ECs:
Historian (10), VP (11), VP(12) of GEMS
Yearbook all four years
Editor of the school newspaper all four years
Fencing Epee for two years
Debate all four years
Girls Scouts for five years
Internship at a non-profit for three summers
Internship at the Hyatt (front desk type stuff)
Internship at the Crowne Plaza (organizing carpools and such)</p>

<p>Awards:
National Merit Semifinalist
Several Spanish Awards (if it matters)
Silver and Gold Award in Girls Scouts
And a few of those random "Academic Excellence"
Won a couple debate tournaments, placed in a few others</p>

<p>Recs:
I feel pretty confident about my teacher recs, but my counselor isn't very on top of things/has been known to write average recs so idk how much this will impact me. </p>

<p>Interview:
When applying to private schools and internships, I am told I am a strong interviewer so I think my interview will go well. I've brushed up on all their programs and concentrations and such so that way I will know what I am talking about. Of course, I will not be like over-confident or anything. </p>

<p>Please chance me I want to go to the hotel school so badly it's not even funny!</p>

<p>Also: I am planning to apply ED</p>

<p>I hate to be annoying, but please someone chance me!</p>

<p>I’d call it a high match. I know you said your school doesn’t rank but if it sends appx 20 to Cornell, I’d assume that number would be out of the top 25 to 30 students in your school and then about 5 going for sports (give or take a couple). Assuming you’re within that top 30 or so and with the ECs and scores that you have (and the sibling legacy), there’s no reason you shouldn’t get in.</p>

<p>Chance back for Cornell as well? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1583099-chance-me-cornell-aem-ed-will-chance-back-4.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1583099-chance-me-cornell-aem-ed-will-chance-back-4.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thank you so much! I’ll be sure to chance back.</p>

<p>Cornell Hotel ED: High match (Hotelies are perhaps held to somewhat lower standards than other Cornellians)</p>

<p>Thank you Catria</p>

<p>You have an extremely good chance!!! Id honestly be surprised if you didn’t get in lol.
Go hotel school!</p>

<p>Cornell ED: high match</p>

<p>Thank you akpl4485 and scderek4!</p>

<p>High match</p>

<p>Thanks Sillyrab</p>

<p>Everything but the SATs are good, but the SATs won’t hurt. What state are you from? You said your school sends a lot to Cornell, but probably not hotel school so it might help if you’re not from the Northeast.</p>

<p>Sat Subject Tests?</p>

<p>Did you have your interview yet? And I think you mean regular.</p>

<p>I’m from Virginia, and you’re right about the hotel school thing. I go to a science and technology school, so most of the Cornell kids are going to the engineering school.</p>

<p>I am a junior this year, so I am taking my SAT subject tests this year and interviewing next year. We have most of our officer elections mid-year so I already know my officer positions and I am taking really predictable classes next year (in terms of grades) so that’s how I calculated my GPA. I am planning on applying ED next year.</p>

<p>Can you chance me back <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1587830-usc-dornsife-irgb-first-choice-chances.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1587830-usc-dornsife-irgb-first-choice-chances.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Yeah sure!</p>

<p>Does anyone else have any insights?</p>
