FIT Fall 2016 Applicants

I have the same, with the date that my Transcript was received

who here will be applying for housing?

That’ll be a yes from me. Visiting Thursday to check out campus and especially dorms, leaning towards Coed Hall but not making any decisions until I see it in person. And obviously get accepted. Trying to stay humble, haha. Also I’m a guy, if my picture isn’t visible.

Anyone else want to live on campus?

I will be living on campus! Nagler hall’s dorms are nice because of the room divider.

I want to dorm in Alumni hall because of the bathroom in the suites instead of the community bathrooms and your choice of a meal plan or not. Plus I think having 3 other roommates will be helpful when socializing

Does anyone know around when we find out if we got accepted or not?

I’m torn between the convenience of a suite bathroom and the luxury of a meal plan. I do not want to be cooking for myself, and I know you can have a meal plan and still be in a suite, however that seems like a bit of a waste of the kitchen. I don’t know, I’ll keep thinking. Also not sure if I could handle sharing a living space with 3 other FIT guys, seems like a lot of energy and possibly drama.

We get our admission decisions in late March-April

Yet another postcard about financial aid, this is gonna be a long 2+ months.

Is anyone else waiting forever for their transcripts to be processed?? I sent my transcripts a month ago and it still hasn’t been updated in my FIT portal. I’ve been emailing and calling like crazy and they keep telling me to resend and I have been!

Yeah I got the post card a couple days ago now too! Fingers crossed this is a good sign!

I didn’t even know you could apply as early as October! I just submitted my essay/academic history a few hours ago… I hope FIT doesn’t think I was being lazy or anything… & I haven’t received a financial aid pamphlet, is that after you’ve finished applying?

@veezyy the deadline is February 1st so you made it before the deadline you should be good and yeah people who have already sent in their application got their financial aid pamphlets

I got another financial aid post card as well!

Does FIT have a schedule when they update statuses for applications? I sent in my portfolio on Saturday and still haven’t gotten a status update.

Did anyone get emailed an @ ID #?

@yaasssssgaga from what I’ve read on other fourms from previous years, FIT doesn’t update the application status on the myfit portal what major did you apply for? You can try calling the admissions office and asking for the status of your application once you give them your FIT ID number

Hey, does anyone else’s application status under application preference say ‘Not Entered’ in the myfit portal? I didn’t know whether or not that meant I still has something missing from the requirements because it never changed from when I first started my application. I called the admissions office and she confirmed that they got all the materials and that I should hear back by april, it just hadn’t been updated because they haven’t reviewed it yet. But I’m just wondering if everyone’s is like that??

@isaiahmikhail that’s what mine says and I’ve had everything in since October! So I think it’s fine!
