Previously, I took IB Psychology SL (junior year) and got a 6 on my IB test…

I have no experience working at a hotel or the like.

I know that the interview plays a big role at the school of hotel management…and they ask about prior experience w/ hospitality…do seniors in high school really have this experience? I have been all over the country (Cali, Florida, NY, Chicago, New Mexico, Arizona, Virginia…pretty much everywhere in US) and China so I have some knowledge about the hospitalities in different areas. Any ideas about how to do the interview?

Thanks!
