Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>Thank you to all who contribute.
I am very interested in applying Early Decision to Cornell's School of Hotel Administration in the fall. I have a 3.975 weighted GPA, and anticipate somewhere around a 2100 on the SAT. However, I am aware that the most important aspect of an application to the Hotel School is work experience. So, I was hoping some current/prospective students could tell me if the following work experience is enough, and if it will help.</p>

<p>Part time job at Checkers restaurant (mostly weekends, and depending on other job, maybe weekdays)</p>

<p>Hopefully a part time/summer job at a hotel or inn (possibly Sheraton or local)... this is not certain yet, but I am working on obtaining a job ASAP.</p>

<p>Also, my dad owns apartment buildings in New Britain, CT, and he said I could work some on and off hours there.</p>

<p>Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated!! Thanks a bunch!</p>

<p>Also, if it is at all possible to have any say in the matter, what particular kinds of jobs in hotels look best on applications? Thanks!</p>
