@pizzaaa 2 year… I plan to appeal for the 1 year program.
Was just waitlisted for a second time. I’d like to reapply for fall 17 one last time but considering the deadlines the first week of january, when do they expect to let me know if i got off of the waitlist for the spring.
@evg7776
That sucks, you seem like a great candidate.
@pizzaaa thank you!
anyone who reads this: they have until feb 1st to let me know if i got off of the waitlist or not. the application for fall 2017 is due by jan 1st. do i remain on the waitlist and hope on the slim chance i get a spot, or decline the offer and just reapply for fall 2017? i can’t have two apps open at the same time and i also don’t wanna risk missing out on my opportunity to apply again for the fall. opinions?!
@evg7776 That is so strange that they won’t let you remain on the waitlist but also have an application in for fall just in case. Did you write and ask if you can’t have two apps open? There must be a way to stay on waitlist and apply for fall.
@rcain i’m already a part time student there taking non degree courses so i’ve been in touch with an academic advisor, and i can’t have two apps open, i have to chose one route or the other. next time i have class i intend on going to admissions and explaining my whole situation over the last year and half and getting some answers and guidance. what i’ve been through with this school is absolutely ridiculous.
No mail… lmao… tomorrow? Maybe I got waitlisted too
@evg7776
I feel sorry for you… seriously though. Have the courage and be strong, for sure. By the way, my best advice, reapply for fall. If this is the second time you have been waitlisted, and the first time you had no luck, it will happen again. Confront the admissions officer soon to discuss the situation, and reapply
@pizzaaa
no mail?
Waitlisted
NOO
I was wait listed too. It seems like everyone it was notified this time was wait listed. I might re-apply. I haven’t really decided since I submitted my deposit elsewhere and want to see how my first few weeks go there.
@evg7776, when you reapplied did you use the same portfolio or redo the whole portfolio. I was just wondering because I have seen people redo the whole portfolio at other schools and get in after applying more than once and I have seen people use the same portfolio and get in after reapplying.
@adorse26 when i was waitlisted the first time around for Fall 2016 and didn’t receive a spot (no fbm applicant did), they gave me the option to just roll over my application instead of completely redoing it. they allowed me to tweak a few things in my essay and update my academic history since i’m at community college in the mean time, but other than that, they rolled everything over for Spring 2017. My application was complete by July 13th, before the application was open to the general public. A lot has changed now over the last couple of months so I likely won’t roll everything again if/when i reapply and just re-do it completely this time.
@adorse26 oh and btw, i didn’t need to do a portfolio, I’m a business major. I do recommend rolling though if you don’t get off the waitlist and wanna reapply for fall and don’t have anything new to add. it was a lot easier rolling lol.
@Tysforreal ugh thank you! when i’m at the school next (tuesday) i intend on speaking to someone in admissions and giving them my situation from the last year and a half and see where it goes. honestly, i don’t think i wanna stay on the waitlist either way though. the spring semester is 8 weeks away, so an even shorter notice would suck financially and i would likely get the last pickings for classes. I’m close enough to commute but the costs add up so i would also wanna find a place to live too. i think i’m just better off declining the offer to remain on the waitlist and reapplying for fall. feb 1st is just ridiculous. i’ll let you all know what is said on tuesday!
@pizzaaa How did you find out that you’re waitlisted? Did they mail you or sth?
And when did you submit your application?
@rcain
When did they send you the letter? How long it took? I think I am going to have to ask them to resend or I pick up
@Tysforreal i received the letter nov. 23. It is dated nov. 21. I think fashion design takes longer though with the portfolio process. Dont give up hope yet. Seems like a lot of the people on the waitlist are FBM. Im sure its on the way. Looking at past threads some people found out as late as dec 8.
I know. but they said that it has been sent out monday, yet I am in the city and it has been 4 days. We’ll see tomorrow and monday
