<p>I am in the middle of running for State president for DECA, which would be an excellent leadership position (one of the bests). I also have talked to several of my club advisors and will most likely be either president or vice president of Key Club, History Club, and NHS.
I am working with a marketing company (Non-Traditional Media) to start a pilot business with UPenn. I also have a summer internship with this company as well.
I have worked at a country club over a year now and also have a job at Tommy Hilfiger, where I am a Lead (basically a manager). Over the summer I plan on also getting a part-time job at a hotel.
I took a psychology class at a local community college and got an A in the class.
I’m not a perfect student but I try to do everything I can. I have a passion for business and am pretty set on applying to the Hotel School.
What do you guys think? What can I do better to stand out when applying.
Oh and I plan on applying ED next year.</p>

<p>Anyone, anything… Good or bad I want to hear what everyone thinks; what can I do better? Haha ahhh</p>

<p>OK, I know these get annoying but one more won’t hurtttt</p>

4

<p>Your chances are good in my opinion. Probably better than most, especially if you get a 1400 on the SATs.</p>

<p>Thanks for your opinionnnn, I really do appreciate it ha</p>

<p>Oh and this is all stat based. I know recommendations, the essays, and the interview all play very, very important parts in whether someone gets accepted or not.
As of now I already know who my recommendations will be and know that my business teacher will write an absolutely perfect recommendation, we have gotten very close through DECA and class; she has a degree from Princeton. I also know that my second one will be excellent because I have had many personal chats with this teacher about everything and they know me the most.
Essays I will be working on all summer to perfect them with people who I have lined up already to take the time to help me out.
As for the interview, I can never predict how that will turn out.</p>
