Chances???

<p>I want to transfer to FIT for Fall 2013 in Advertising and Communications or FMM but this semester I only got a 2.6 because honestly, the high school to college transition was rough for me and I'd moved across the country so it was a lot to deal with. I'm pretty sure that next semester I can do a lottttt better so do I still have a chance? I'm really good at writing essays so I hope I'll be able to explain my situation and how much I really want to attend FIT and they'll understand. In high school I graduated with a 3.1 unweighted, 3.7 weighted, but most of my classes were AP and I did pretty well on the ACT and SAT.</p>

<p>FMM is a tough major to get into because a good majority of applicants are applying to this program. Unlike the design programs at the school, you do not get a portfolio to fall back on. Try your hardest this semester to improve your grades. A major improvement in grades looks really good to admissions. I would also suggest extra circular activities that relate to fashion if you have not done so already. This too will improve your chances. Good Luck!</p>

<p>Yes, melmaria is correct. I am one of the majority of FMM students attending in the Fall. It all comes down to your essay. Make sure you tell your story and honest about it. The admissions essay is your college admissions interview.</p>
