How To Apply To Your Chosen Culinary School

By Girish Jaju


Getting accepted to the culinary school of your choice is easy, provided that you know the things that you need to do. If you are planning to have a career in the food service or hospitality industry and are looking for tips on how you can be sure that you would be able to get into your chosen culinary school, read on.

The first thing you need to do would be to get a list of all the requirements that you need to submit. To get information about this, you can either visit the website of the culinary school or contact their admissions department.

You should then get an application form either through downloading it from the website of the school or through requesting for one from their admissions department. Once you have a form, fill it out with accurate and complete information before submitting it. You may also need to pay an application fee, depending on the school that you are applying to.

Aside from a completely filled out application form, you would also most likely need to submit several other documents and requirements, depending on the culinary school and program you have chosen to apply to. Some of the documents and requirements that you may be asked to submit include: your high school diploma or GED certificate; official transcripts from schools you have attended in the past; and letters of recommendation. You may also be asked to submit an essay or a written statement that details your reasons for wanting to study at a culinary school or for entering a career in the culinary field.

A lot of culinary schools today also require applicants to go through an interview and take an entrance test. They often use these as a way to not just evaluate the aptitude of applicants in basic subjects such as grammar and math but also assess the interest of applicants to study in their school and get in the field of culinary arts. For the test, you can expect questions in math, grammar, and reading comprehension; and for the interview, you can expect questions about your educational background and your career plans in the field of culinary arts.

After taking the exam, undergoing the interview, and submitting all of the documents and requirements that your chosen culinary school is asking for, all you have to do would be to wait as your application is processed. In the meantime, you can start preparing for your classes through reading more about the food service industry and researching about various cuisines and cooking methods and techniques so that once your classes start, you would already have a background of what may be discussed.
