I am currently a freshman history major at syracuse university and I’m looking to transfer to FIT for fall 2016 as an Art History major. I am most concerned about getting admitted because of my current college gpa (a 3.17). I would say my essay is pretty good and my high school gpa was much better (3.7). I did well on my sats with a 1960 but i know that they don’t take hs grades and sat scores much into account. I am also a bit concerned because i submitted my suny app 3 days late!
Any words of advice would help! thanks so much!!
also i forgot to add that i am part of the honors program at syracuse!
Hey I’m in a similar situation, but I finished my bachelors degree. I applied for 3 year AAS fashion design. I know they average everything out, but I know for Art History GPA matters
ok cool thanks for the info. Do they look into the transcripts well too? I did pretty well in everything but what really killed me last semester was a C+ in stats, which isnt really relevant to my major.
Yeah Im applying to Parsons and FIT for the AAS so I called both of the admissions lines and at Parsons the admissions specialist told me that transcripts are used just for English speaking verification purposes while at FIT the specialist made it seem like grades play a larger factor than at Parsons,but still not as large as the portfolio if for Art and Design
