wel the school i went to i originally applied for in february last year and got in. didnt go. then applied again for last years october program. didnt go. now im here. from whati understand its not too hard to get in as long as you express the desire to cook. beinga perfectionist isnt a bad thing as long as you are open to mistakes. im a perfectionist too but i know that mistakes will hapen. im only human. food preparation is something that has to be done well though and done well consistently. cant make a dish once one way and then different another time. so i guess making it perfect every time would be a plus..
good god that was long. hope that helped
