| My Chances: Hotel School
Hello everyone,
I realize there have been a great deal of posts on here recently about the Hotel School, but I really need to hear some honest opinions aside from those of the admissions faculty
at the Hotel School.
I am a sophomore in college at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. I applied to transfer to the Hotel School for spring
semester 08, and was harshly rejected. However, I have reapplied for fall transfer 09, and I am determined to get into this school. Through out my application process,
I have definitely interacted with the office a lot, which hopefully helps.
My stats however, are not very impressive: HS GPA: 3.55, College GPA: 3.4, SAT Overall: 1640, ACT: 21
I have ample work experience in the restaurant industry (my concentration) and was also a barista. I am currently involved in two major-related clubs at my college and was
drummer for a best-selling band. I had a great interview, and my interviewer said he would recommend me to the school. My 6 professor recommendations (combining the ones from last app)
are excellent, and I also submitted letters of rec from employers and an alumni of the Hotel School. This very alumni actually found out from the office
that it was my "academic standing" that got me initially rejected. However, they only accepted 5 external transfer students for spring semester.
What are my honest chances guys? Any advice? Not like I can do much now, but honestly, I submitted very thorough essays and addition ones, a resume, a plan of study, my
band's album to the department of music, and now have the potential advantage of being a re-applicant...?
What do you guys honestly think my chances are?
