<p>Question above </p>
<p>Thank you !</p>
<p>By the way by brother and sister and cornell graduates. How much will this help ?</p>
<p>Neither are easy to get into. Hotel is sometimes considered “easier” because it generally has students with lower GPAs and lower test scores, but the Hotel school (at least for freshman admissions) requires an interview, and you need to have a bunch of work experience to even be considered. Arts and Sciences is probably the most competitive college because it’s the liberal arts school.
So, like I said, neither are easy to get into. And the adcoms can realize when an applicant is trying to “back-door” their way into Cornell through a major/college that doesn’t fit them. Hotel and Arts/Sciences are pretty different, so applying to one when you fit the other (or neither) will raise their eyebrows.</p>
<p>And having siblings who went to Cornell might help, but probably not much because that doesn’t make you a legacy, just part of a “Cornell family.”</p>
<p>anyone else ?</p>
<p>thanks by the way </p>
<p>I forgot to mention

<p>Also my brother and sister graduated from graduate programs at cornell</p>
<p>Also i perfer the hotel school, however i have a gut feeling i have a better chance in the liberal arts school ! Opinions ?</p>
<p>You need quite a bit of work experience to be accepted by Hotel school.</p>
<p>CAS is definitely the hardest school to transfer into. A 3.3 at Michigan will probably not make you competitive.</p>
<p>both those schools seem to be tough to transfer into…</p>
<p>also your current courses at Umich arent really hotel or even business oriented…</p>
<p>i’d say your best bet is to stick with UMICH (good enough school)…</p>
<p>You’re not really competitive for either school…sorry.</p>
<p>Successful applicants for CAS have GPAs in the range of 3.7+. Successful Hotel applicants have significant experience in the hospitality/restaurant field.</p>
<p>ill get into one i just need to know which one has lower acceptance rates ?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The hotel school does require an interview for transfers</p>
<p>dewdrop: Yeah, I figured it wouldn’t change for transfer applicants, in regards to Hotel applicants needing an interview, but I just said “at least for freshman” just in case I was wrong.</p>
<p>But el_taco… how can you be so sure you’ll get into one of them? Just because you’re a transfer applicant doesn’t it make getting into Cornell a piece of cake. They’re both very competitive schools.</p>
<p>El-taco: when do you plan to apply to Cornell? I assume you’re a freshman so if you choose to apply now…your HS record will play a role in your admission decision.</p>
<p>Do you have any experience in the hospitality industry? If not…then your chance of admission is very low. I knew a hotel transfer who was a bio major at his first college…but he had some amazing work experience in the field and got in. The hotel school is very aware of applicants who use their school as a “back door” to gain admission to Cornell. </p>
<p>In my opinion…I would say CAS pays attention to numbers and I believe their acceptance rate is even lower than the freshman acceptance rate. Accepted transfers have strong HS and college records. A 3.3 is not a competitive GPA…although I imagine there would be some leniency if you were working a significant number of hours. How is your HS record?</p>
<p>40%> </p>
<p>I’m def applying to the hotel school. I don’t have any work experience in the hospitality industry, but i’ll be sure to clarify why. </p>
<p>Guys out of curiosity, how are the resources at cornell (Math Labs) ?</p>
<p>if you’re applying to the hotel school then a math lab wouldnt be really necessary for you would it? </p>
<p>i think you should try if you really want to go to cornell but dont expect to get in…the odds are against you…</p>
<p>you might have a better shot at ILR but you say it’s HOTEL you’re after…why?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Speechless. I think this is a joke.</p>
<p>Look. Hotel school doesn’t need clarification… errr how can I say this…</p>
<p>Well, Statler has excellent resources like the fantastic culinary lab, the attached hotel and nestle library but I don’t think you’re really interested in that. If you’re a hotelie, chances are you won’t ever see a math lab, at least not till you have room for electives. I’m not really sure your excuse for lack of hospitality experience will float for vested interest in the field. You application could appear quite insulting to the Hotel school and its students. better go with Arts and Sciences.</p>
<p>Guys I had an interview that was very very promising according the conductor. I keep everyone updated</p>
<p>Oh yeah essays where amazing, stressed the importance and uniqueness of a practical education. I think I’ve put myself in a excellent position.</p>
<p>Sounds like the OP doesn’t need any advice… Guess none of our opinions actually matter…</p>
<p>Well if you simply want to know which school is statistically harder to get into, it’s definitely CAS, so don’t waste your time applying for a major you don’t want because you think it’s “easier”…it’s actually one of the more competitive schools…I think it’s has the lowest transfer acceptance rate.</p>
<p>The interviewer told you you have a good chance with a 3.3? what major? i’m applying with nearly a 4.0 from nyu and i’m worried…a 4.0 student recently posted she was rejected from CAS on the transfer board</p>
