I understand your thinking that Nolan is a niche program and the OP does not appear to have any hospitality interest or experience, and agree with your thoughts in part, I disagree with the thinking that Nolan cannot be a good fit or that the OP cannot be accepted into the program/college. Although the vast majority of Hotelies do go into the hotel/hospitality industry (50-66%), I also understand that there are a number of graduates that enter into other areas including real estate, finance, IB, business management and consulting. In fact, although students do take a number of hospitality courses, they take their share of accounting, management, finance and entrepreneurship courses as well.
Depending on if Cornell is the school for the OP, and the specific college is secondary, since Nolan and Dyson are both part of the SC Johnson School, take similar (not identical) core classes, and the outcome for many in Nolan is in finance, IB, and consulting, with a substantially higher chance of acceptance (20+% as compared to <5%), why shouldn’t the OP do their own due diligence to see if this program is the route to go rather than rule it out due to a superficial glance at the program?
Another possible option would be to simply take various courses of interest at Dyson. Another thought could be major in one major, but minor at Dyson. It might be challenging, but it sounds doable. You cannot double major at Noah and Dyson. Or, you could double major at CALS and Dyson, however, that might be very challenging and difficult. These are just various thoughts and trying to think out of the box. Regardless, actually getting into Cornell is always a challenge, although there are ways to get into the college. My daughter, for example, applied ED1 to Cornell Nolan, got deferred, was waitlisted and eventually received the TO option. Although it is not a guarantee, if she decides to complete the transfer option, our understanding is that the chances of being accepted as long as she meets the qualifications and requirements is good.
