<p>I want to apply for this major for Spring 2013. I spoke with admissions and they said a huge emphasis is placed on the essay and now I'm freaking out! I'm a pretty good writer, but when it comes to essays, I'm actually pretty terrible lol. </p>

<p>My grades in my English classes are actually not that great either. In high school, they were Bs for 3/4 years, and a C junior year due to my being a major slacker.</p>

<p>In college, it was a B in Comp 1 and a C in Comp 2 (NOT MY FAULT!!! It was one of those professors that tell you straight up "You're not going to get an A in this class. 98% of the class got Cs and Ds with the exception of a few who ended up with Bs)</p>

<p>I'm worried my grades will prevent me from getting in :/</p>

<p>Also, I want to do AMC but I don't particularly want to focus on fashion. Would this major prepare me for this field in areas OTHER than fashion as well? I don't mind learning about fashion throughout the time I'm there (it would be pretty awesome, actually) but career-wise, I don't care to focus on fashion, really.</p>

<p>Any other information for this major would be awesome! Thanks guys!</p>

<p>Hi, sorry, I don’t know if I’ll be much help but I just HAD to reply because your post might as well have been written by me haha. I’m in the same position as you; applying for Spring 2013 but freaking out over not getting in/grades and having a terrible essay. </p>

<p>To at least be of SOME help to you: I might be mistaken, but I do believe that the AMC-program is one of the few programs at FIT that is NOT focused on fashion so you should be fine.</p>

<p>Ahhh, have you found out any info?? I think for this major it’s pretty much wait-and-see, since we don’t turn in a portfolio or anything to defend ourselves lol :/</p>
