Those that already have some talent will find in school that there is so much more to learn than they already know. Students will always take away more than they brought if they apply themselves. Prospective students should think about getting an A.A.S. in Culinary Arts. I don't want to bake. But those people are kidding themselves.
Any good cook knows how to bake even the most simple things.
Also, any good baker or pastry chef will have good knife skills and have a knowledge of savory food. As far as I can tell there is no difference. Most other cooks will judge you by your ability not by where you went to school. Work hard and listen well. Try not to have biases against any kind of food.
