FIT Fall 2017 Applications

I received my letter today for outstanding applicant ! I’m a high school student from Arizona and am going into fbm, I had a 3.6 gap unweighted and started a fashion club/organized a fashion show for breast cancer, so that’s a little summary of my essay basically. And my coa was available before I got my letter :slight_smile: if you wanna stay in touch my twitter is @anahit_orres

@bananaflea when did you apply??? Before or after 2/1??

I received my acceptance letter today as well.

@Cassidydemons Great. It allows me to keep my hope. Congrats!

I applied in late November

My sister also goes to FIT. Will this fact help me or not?

OMG the waiting is AWFUL :((

For anyone that was waitlisted and sent email to FIT confirming that you want to stay on waitlist…did you receive a response?

@Ngcgli i sent an email the day i got my letter and i haven’t received a response a yet.

papaya0811 yes, same here. My son sent the email the day he got the letter and have gotten no response.

@papaya0811

Has anyone received their financial aid package?? I’d like to know what aid I’ll be getting before I send in my deposits!

@kattmichelle My Financial aid is still under review…I went ahead and sent my deposit since the deadline is May 1st and I definitely want to attend the school. Even if the package is not what I expect. I anticipate loans regardless.

My GPA was around 2.9 but still got accepted into the one year fbm course!

My intention was to apply for Spring 2018, but I found out that FBM One Year Program has a Open status as of right now at SUNY website where you apply. After reading some of these post about being waitlisted, it made me feel worry that I just apply recently for no reason. I spent 50 dollars knowing that I am so late. Unless, the one year program for transfer students doesn’t get a lot of application. They quickly in 3 days created myfit account for me, and 2 days later sent me my essay link. I keep checking if my transcript has arrived, only 1 so far. So everything that they have asked I already sent, including my essay. Do you think there’s still any chance? I assumed it should have a CLOSED status, so nobody can apply for fall 2017 semester. Just worried, and I know the deadline for the tuition deposit is due May 1st. I’m stressing!!!

@alicecr i applied around this time last yr for the amc evening/weekend program (regular was closed) but i was rejected after 4 weeks with a 3.0 gpa and a creative essay…

If you feel insecure about it you could always defer your app to spring 2018

Does anyone knows how eop works ?? My application is still being reviewed by Financial aid, admissions and eop

@Larriealumni thank you! gives me a relief that at least they’re still reviewing and theres still a chance for attendance of fall 2017. I didn’t have a great GPA in high school nor my post-secondary college, but my 2nd college I raised it up to 3.6. I have 40+ credits so either way if i don’t get in I can still apply for the 1year program for spring 18’.

now i wonder if i do get accepted, and i pay the tuition deposit after may 1st, will it be a problem?

This is totally late, but hi, I am a high school student from Texas who received an acceptence letter on March 23. I’m going for the two year Fashion Business Management and will go for a bachelors in the later future. My GPA was a 3.9. But yeah, nice to meet you all, and feel free to follow me on Instagram: @roseysama (:

@alicecr it would be a problem if they run out of space, but if they accept you after May 1st, it’s probably because they had space so it wouldn’t be a problem.

I applied again this year with a 3.8, 16 credits, as a transfer for the fbm 2 yr aas and got accepted :slight_smile: goodluck!!

@KouhaiChan I’m really late too, hahaha. . .I am technically a college sophomore/taking a gap year, but I got accepted into the one-year fashion design AAS program. For anyone who is still waiting, I hope you hear soon! I can’t imagine how anxious/excited you all are. And for anyone who did not accepted, please do not give up!
