FIT applicants for fall 2018

Hi all. I have not received any mail, called admissions but they refused to email the letter, they said they made a decision but had not mailed the letter yet as of last Thursday. They said I would get the letter in 7-10 days but did not tell me anything else. However, I just got an email invitation to admitted student’s day, so to those of you still waiting, check your email. Hope this helps. The waiting game was terrible.

@dizydee Official Congratulations to your daughter! My daughter is officially accepted also!! Packet arrived in today’s mail. My daughter’s application stats are similar to your daughter’s. Thanks for all of your info and support! So exciting to receive that big envelope! I literally cried when I saw it! She is thrilled!! Good luck to all still waiting! There is still hope!!

Some info for those still playing the waiting game:

-Letter dated April 3, postmarked April 4, rcvd April 9
-We are in Westchester, NY, appx 45 min from FIT
-Called last week and twice told they couldn’t email results
-COA & Stats didn’t change until April 7
-Applied to 1 yr AMC major
-Rejected last year, took Gen Ed Reqs at our local Community College, 4.0 current GPA; strong essay
-20 yrs old, 3 yrs out of high school.

-Applied to 1 yr AMC major as a transfer*

This is really upsetting considering they said all decision letters would be sent out by April 1st. I still haven’t gotten any email, letter or packet. Hopefully they’ll get back to me soon because the national deadline is May 1st.

Also I just finished doing the FAFSA so the COA isnt there yet. I’m really nervous at this point.

Those who were rejected, did you coa have a number ?

@dmoh88 thank you! Congrats to you too! She also got an email today about admitted students day. So if we didn’t ask for the email last week or get the mail today she would of known by this email sent to all the students accepted.

For those who called the admissions office, what did you ask because whenever I call it seems like they cant let me know anything

@CityBF8 I personally had a problem with MyFit because everything seemed to have disappeared (no sign of me submitting my portfolio, essay, transcripts, nothing) and asked in a panic if it was just an IT problem or if they had decided something. But admissions just assured that it was an IT problem and told me a decision was made and was sent out a couple of days ago. Idk if that really helps you if you want a way to have them give some info to you but maybe tell them some people you know have received their decision via call or email because of mail delivery failure?

@MischaK I’ll give it a try and hope for the best, thank you!

@evelyn93 who did you talk to? a supervisor or a counselor

Hi everyone, I got accepted today and what was weird is that I got it through email saying “congratulations again” but I never received the postal mail yet. I came home from school and got the postal mail of the acceptance letter. Guys check your email often! Good luck to everyone who is still waiting on results, Don’t give up!!

May 1st! @wannagetinfit

I have no idea, she said she’s calling in behalf of the admissions department

So I called, and the lady said a desicison hasn’t been made for me yet… Do you think it’s safe to assume I’m either waitlisted or rejected¿

@CityBF8 I called last Thursday and they told me the same thing; that a decision hasn’t been made for me yet. They told me that a counselor was still in the process of looking over my application & I would know “within the next week or so”. Not sure what it means tbh lol. I applied to Illustration AAS btw, how about you?

@CityBF8 I called them today and they said that my major was one of the last to send out so I assume that there will be no more letters sending? Are you sure you had everything in? They wouldn’t look at my application until I had my TOEFL score in and thank god they waived it for me.

@rocketchips I applied for the AAS Film and Media program as a transfer, and I was told it was one of the last programs they review but I’ve seen a few who have gotten a decision already.
@kamirszk Yeah, I sent all my transcripts and essay on time, I didnt need to do the TOELF test and a portfolio isnt required for film and media
I’m just pretty hopeless now…

@kamirszk What’s your major? I live in the New York City metro area and still haven’t gotten any letter or email.

@CityBF8 @kamirszk I am a transfer as well. I’ve only seen a couple posted acceptances on social media for illustration, less than 10 for sure. Probably more like 5 or so and they all were OA. But I am not sure how small or large the illustration class is at FIT. I sent everything on time and am transferring from within the US, so no TOELF here. Guess we have to wait a bit longer.
