Cornell School of Hotel Administration ED Thread - Class of 2024

@“Lekker123!” u can get rejected from Ross but into LSA. Also corned notorious for being cut throat and competitive(for better or for worse)

@student8888 well good luck to us then. We might end up with the snakes. lol

@“Lekker123!” LOL! Do u know how many Ed SHA receives and how many they take?

@student88888 No clue. I would assume, because Cornell is by far the best program in the country, their ED applicant numbers is larger than the normal ED for Cornell (12% of total application). But that is just a guess. The numbers you are trying to get are not disclosed anywhere. We all tried to find out. Just give up and relax. Feels like you have a great application. Don’t go crazy inside your head. LOL

@“Lekker123!” I appreciate your concern, however, let me respond and feel how I please. You have chosen to engage and participate on this platform. We are a week away and stress is normal. You have told me twice to calm down and it’s not your place.

@student88888 Seems like what @Lekker123! is trying to tell you is that it really doesn’t matter knowing all what you want to know. The selection process is way more complicated and the decision factor is beyond just numbers. There are factors beyond what any of us can speculate, like the background of this year’s applicants for example. Imagine if all of us are first generation, latinx, NY, male candidates. Our chances would be very slim this year correct? Yes we are all stressed… but asking the same question several times on several Cornell discussion boards won’t make your chances better. Hint hint. And I’m out!

Ah! Forgot to say. I also applied ED to SHA. Maybe we will be colleagues one day. I really hope we all get in!!! Good luck to everyone!!! One week to go.

@PianoWinterfell Yeah I can see why you think that. I picked SHA over Dyson cause i didn’t know how to spin my essay to include a science aspect (Dyson is econ + science). Since SHA has a finance track and I have the “hospitality” experience they recommend, I think I fit.

@student88888 no hooks, male from California

I also applied to ross.

@Riley10 I see what you’re talking about. Yeah I think you’d fit at SHA too

So soon!! I can’t wait I’m so nervous.

i have so many tests/assignments due this week but i literally can’t concentrate on doing anything!! i haven’t started RD applications and i told myself i would do them over last summer, but that didnt happen. all i keep thinking about is decisions on thursday !!!

Me too! Haven’t started RD applications either. I’m crying!!!

How many pages is the resume you guys submitted? About how many positions listed?

1 b/c thats typically how long a resume should be, what do u mean by how many positions listed? i just indicated my leadership role when it applied

@PianoWinterfell I wrote all service jobs, non service jobs such as lifeguarding and all school clubs with my leadership roles. I also wrote community service, publications and writing competitions and conferences

Like how many things did you list on the resume

@student88888 How long was your resume? Did you put detailed description for each?

@PianoWinterfell pretty detailed and I listed I would say 5-6 for each bracket

I’m so scared
