Class of 2012 here.. I don’t know how I stumbled on this video but it’s pretty on point even from when I was there.. best advice to all students... be humble and just learn. More than half of the people I went to school with that were cocky, competitive, and “big shots” aren’t even chefs anymore or never even made it “big” in the industry. Good luck to all you prospects and future students!

Thanks for making all these videos, they have been super helpful. I'm exited to see your non CIA content as well!

Going to CIA NY in the fall, see you there!

When she said “I don t actually like the people” 😂😭 made me laugh so much because of the fact that it’s so true, I also wanted to attend CIA and did get accepted but due the how much it is I decide to attend a local school called Los Angeles Trade tech Community College, and even there we are super competitive but it also depends how social you are and the people that you surround yourself with, I have lots of friends at school of all ages and specialities, and I recommend getting to know others as much as possible, because only time will tell what paths they will lead. - Daisy B Garcia

Thanx for these videos! So helpful. I just got accepted to start in April! I can’t wait!

Thank you so much for the info. I wanted to study in CIA this help alot 😊

im sooooooo exited i have it all planed

So how is going now? I am interested in joing it?

I'm hoping to start the summer22 sem and I wish we could be friends there! I feel the same, I'm absolutely not a competitive person and I find it point less since everyone does get the same prize in the end. I'd rather remain humble and learn as much as I can.

My question is what do you specifically want to do with you degree? Culinary school is as competitive as you choose it to be. It’s disciplinary aspect will make you stand out. You also will realize that you can spot a disciplined person by the way the choose to act in circumstances that you are going to be challenged in.

so glad I was able to help! there are tons of culinary colleges just do your research and see which one you think fits best for you!

Hi, hope you can respond. I am scared of how competitive students are, I have a learning disability and I wondered how hard it is to make "good friends". That's only thing holding me back. How did you cope with that?

What are the names of some of the classes you took?

what do you think is better for international students to choose bachelor's or associate's? and do you think international students still get to continue living in the states after the program or do they have to go back to where they came from?

Hey Jennifer. I am Going to start my Bachelor’s in Culinary Science in the 2021 spring. Do you have any friends who are doing the Bachelor’s at Cia who could help me to give an overview about everything they are learning there. I am an international student. So could you please help me with anything.
