<p>Hey!
Chance me please!
Hi,
I'm applying regular decision to Cornell to the Hotel school
Here are some stats:
Indian Male
SAT's
Critical Reading : 670
Math : 690
Writing : 740
Overall - 1360/1600 and 2110/2400
GPA : 4.3
Class Rank : Top 5%
I am on the executive board of the Student Government, have attended Pennsylvania Governor's School of International Studies (a very competetive program by which I spent 5 weeks at the University of Pittsburgh studying International Affairs at the college level, only 1/8 applicants got in). I am enrolled in an internship for international studies, tutor African Refugees,
taught poverty stricken children in India(for 1 week, came to about 50 hrs)
have protested against poaching with the same organization, have 48 hours of service at a library, was the founder of a school band in India, played guitar for a local band and we got pretty popular regionally, am in Model UN, French Club, Drama Club, Poetry Club, actor in school plays, am on the Highest Honor Roll, am in National Honors Society, and on the Varsity Swim Team. am in the top 5% class
My hobbies include horseriding, snowboarding, guitar, piano etc
I have studied abroad in high school (India), started the Political Awareness League at school.
Some hobbies include snowboarding, horseriding, piano, guitar, art
The thing I feel that could hurt me is I took all my AP's in my senior year, so I dont have any AP scores yet, but I will have that explained, because I studied abroad, when I came to America, I had to take certain required classes before I could take AP, so I couldnt take AP's before this. Also, currently, I have A's in all my AP's, and I plan on getting that explained with a letter from counsellor. My recs should be good considering I see my counsellor lik every day and I am the only person in my school applying to Cornell.</p>

<p>*****Another thing to note is that the grades and GPA I told you of earlier is the last 9weeks, as in last update. It is to be updated again soon, and my grades have kind of fallen because I'm so busy. So I might have 2 B's when I apply to Cornell, but I'll still be in top 10%, hopefully top 5%.</p>

<p>I see nothing that indicates an interest in hotel management.</p>

3

<p>why pick hotel school?</p>

4

<p>i also believe that is a 2100 overall, correct? not a big deal but just making sure you know how to add</p>

5

<p>possibility regular, good shot early</p>

6

<p>i am sorry haha. I am applying to go into International Affairs. Not hotel management. what are my chances if I do that?</p>

7

<p>does Cornell even have an "international affairs" major? I thought only a minor in intl. relations.</p>

8

<p>Cornell does not have a major in Int'l Relations - there are Int'l Rel courses in Gov't major in College of Arts & Sciences...</p>

9

<p>so are you an international student? </p>

<p>Your stats don't seem very impressive, imo</p>

<p>*Two roads diverged in a yellow wood</p>

<p>experience/ showing interest in the hospitality program is lacking...</p>
