I am applying to the Hotel Administration school at Cornell RD, but my stats are all over the place and I don’t know enough about the school to judge one way or the other whether I stand a chance. Help–

28 on ACT - breakdown: 33, 33, 29, 27, 25. Science&math dragged me down. SATs: 610 math, 690 cr, 730 writing. SAT II’s: 610 math, 670 literature, 710 spanish.

White, coming from an extreeeemely competitive New England private school - does not rank. GPA 3.0 unweighted, 3.4 weighted. Took 1 AP sophomore year, 3 AP’s junior year, 2 AP’s senior year. Even though I averaged an A-/B+ in all my humanities classes consistently, the big problem for me is that I have one D+ on my transcript from geometry. My counselor has said it’s going to screw me over. Great recs, lots of ECs at school including a big art portfolio, but little to no hospitality experience.

Had the interview already - went really, really well.

Do I have a shot??
