FIT applicants for fall 2018

I called FIT last week and they received her essay, act scores, but never received her transcript and never emailed to tell us. she is an outstanding applicant for sure so I’m a little surprised. Everyone go make sure they received all your materials. Anyway, my dd applied for FBM. We are out of state and they are notorius for not giving aid. I think the maximum is 500 a semester. Other fashion schools have offered much more. Good Luck everyone.

oh, her application says freshmen advanced standing. Does anyone know what that means?

@lisaol Advanced standing just means that the applicant has AP/college credit and can potentially get out of required gen ed classes like math/English/science

Hello!! Did anyone apply for the online International Trade & Marketing degree? Was wondering if the online program was more or less competitive.

Hello everyone, I wish I could relate with y’all financial aid changes and etc, but I’m an international student therefore I can’t opt for financial aid, of course didn’t fill the forms or anything!! Anxiously waiting for late March, I feel like I’m close to having a heart attack from the waiting everyday!!!

Also, I said this at the very beginning but for everyone new; I applied to AMC AAS. If anyone would like to exchange essays, just let me know ((:

Has anyone else applied for FAFSA lately ? I applied for fafsa early but I forgot to put the name of FIT and then they emailed me that they can’t find my FAFSA so I corrected my FAFSA again. Is that going to a problem ? I’m really worried and how are you guys looking the FAFSA amount ? I so wanna get into the FIT

My COA was always available , is the first numbers suppose to change too or only from 0?

my coa havent changed but my estimated family contribution has been there for like a few months which is super weiird. My coa is still shows 0.00. For those of you who have coa changed, does the finacial aid status changed from follow up docuemtns recieved to inital finacial aid reviewed or still pending to be reviewed?

My COA was never 0 and my EFC and initial need shows too, and mine is currently still pending to be reviewed.

@Jiruo0 Mine says “Pending to be reviewed.” However they still haven’t updated by “Outstanding documentation required” message bc of something being incomplete so I don’t know if it’s because of that.

My EFC was up there originally too. When my COA updated it added the out-of-state tuition fee/room/books/loan fees/etc to make it $32,200.

I heard they give no aid and only a small merit scholarship of 500. Did any of you apply to other schools?

My CoA updated. :o

My daughter’s EFC updated when her FAFSA posted. CoA updated around the first of February then a request for “outstanding documentation” was mailed from the financial aid office around the 12th of February. She submitted the info and is waiting for that to update in the Financial Aid checklist. Her transfer hours have been posted to the unofficial transcript.

@Jiruo0 In your overall status did it change enrollment status to “undergrad in fall 2018/2019” as well?

@shakuton where did you find that information? is it where it says The followin information for enrollment in fall/spring is based on the status of:undergrad in fall 2018/undergrad in spring 2019?

@Jiruo0 Yeah, it was the “following information” bit. I’m pretty sure it didn’t say undergrad before (just said default I think), so I was just wondering haha
