Don't know about that. Being at the top of your high school class is a very big deal.

I'm assuming we need to bring our own ironing board/iron ?

If you ship a package to your dorm room address, will it be in your room when you move in, or do you have to pick it up somewhere else first? (Assuming it arrives after August 13th.)

Menlen

Colene

Depends on which school in Cornell you're looking at.

Hi, I'm interested in applying to Cornell's SHA (I'm not a senior, so I still have some time), but I was wondering how heavily do they look for work experience in the hospitality industry. My entire family is involved in the industry, and that's what has inspired me to think about applying. I know there is still time to get work experience, but I am just wondering. Thanks!
