<p>Apply to FIT yet? I did, but I'm so nervous because I want to know already. Too bad I applied RD></p>
<p>I have never heard of this school and never knew such a school existed....</p>
<p>i got rejected.</p>
<p>Sorry Liek. If you really are into fashion design, consider the transfer option</p>
<p>I can't believe you got rejected from FIT, Liek. I read your other post, that said you got into Parsons?</p>
<p>is FIT that hard to get in? what is their acceptance rate? wow..</p>
<p>I am currently working on FIT's..hometest. maybe I shouldn't have given a light weight-little effort on it, if I am also on the verge of getting rejected!</p>
<p>FIT is harder to get admitted to than most people realize. It is a NY state school. Thus, it has very reasonable tuition. In fact, it is less expensive, even if you are not from NY, than most private schools. This adds to its demand. The same can be said for SUNY Purchase in the arts and Mass Art.</p>
<p>I do remember that when my D looked at the schools you are applying to, including FIT, that FIT requires a very different portfolio then Pratt or Parsons. Did you use the same portfolio/ If so that might have been the problem.</p>
<p>so NY's residence that applied to FIT has priority for getting accepted.? (if that makes any sense.) that clears out alot of things.</p>
<p>and what is it that they require a different portfolio than other schools do? interesting.. I would love to hear more about this in detail..</p>
<p>When we went to their open house they told us that they are one of the few SUNY schools that DO NOT give priority to NY state residents but rather portfolio, portfolio, portfolio. There portfolio was purely fashion based with specific drawings for fashion design, while Parsons and Pratt wanted a fine arts portfolio. They offerd pre-college courses (as many art schools do) but their fashion pre college courses help you design a fashion portfolio, the specific type they are looking for. So Liek are you going to go to Parsons?
Cama</p>
<p>so FIT doesn't look for general, observational drawings (life, figure etc) in applicant's porfolio? </p>
<p>that's too bad.......... :(</p>
<p>No FIT doesn't. I didn't submit my regular art portfolio to Parsons. I did a whole different thing for FIT and started from scratch. For the home exam for fashion design I had to design 4 outfits made from the same 5 pieces in different ways for a woman who is going to travel for the weekend. Then i also had to include a adesign inspired by an object, plus 6-10 sketeches of my own design plus pictures of things i've sewn together. </p>
<p>I heard that the fashion design major accepted like 10 percent of all applicants, but i'm not sure if that is true.</p>
<p>I got accepted.</p>
<p>Only I applied for the one year program and didn't have enough credits. The two year program is full and they put me on waiting list.But I am #40 !</p>
<p>Also, I applied as a transfer.</p>
<p>FIT and Parsons are both great schools. Only FIT has not only a reasonable price, but you also don't have to go through the Foundation program like you have to at Parsons.</p>
<p>I applied last year to FIT and was rejected. I had taken the hometest as some sort of joke. I drew about 7 skectches and turned it in. That's it. So listen to the advice, "If at first you don't suceed, try try again." Make sure you know what the "fashion portfolio" is supposed to look like. Know how to draw garments. I bought a book called, "The Fashion Sketchbook", by Bing Abling and that helped alot. I re-applied this year and was accepted. It worked for me.</p>
<p>Hi,
I found the disscussion about FIT, how hard is to get in. I have to do my portfolio and home test in the next few weeks. Can you please help me, give me some advises?
Are you already in the program? How is FIT, very hard? I would really appreciate the response. Thanks</p>
<p>So do you have to submit garments that youve sewn along with sketches ?</p>
<p>I was accepted in both Parsons and FIT. I am so confused in which one to choose. I know that FIT is less expensive than Parsons but to me seems has to have a technical course and Parsons has a more artistic course. I am not sure if I am right about that. I am going in to a two-year AAS Fashion Design Program. Can anyone help me wich one has a better reputation in this kind of course????</p>
<p>How was the home design test for the application?</p>
<p>I applied to FIT for this comming spring semester for fashion merchandising mangement. For programs like this that dont require a protfolio, does anyone know how hard it is to get into? I reallllyy wanna go here!</p>
<p>Hey, I applied to FIT for fashion merchandising management for spring 2007 too....have you heard anything yet? I'm dying to know if I got in and am so scared...</p>
<p>Emily</p>
<p>Igot in!!!</p>
<p>hey so i’m a junior in high school and I REALLY want to go to FIT, and I was thinking about doing the pre-college program at LIM even though i have no interest going there, do you think doing that would make me stand out when i apply to FIT or not?</p>
