still waiting :(( i applied for presidential scholars and i live in louisiana, starting to get a little worried
The wait is awful, but it seems like most people are still waiting to get their decision. I would not take it as a bad sign that you haven’t got it yet.
Exactly. There was an online admissions chat yesterday and they said April 1st is basically the notification date…any decisions received before that date are just a bonus (and mostly Presidential Scholars). Most of the decisions will be mailed out next week, which means most people have not heard anything. It’s way too early to think no mail is bad news!
Still waiting. We live in Windsor California (small town 60mi north of SF). Two girls got accepted from LA area on Monday.
i live in rockland county (right outside of NYC) and i haven’t heard anything. for those of you who’s COA has changed, when checking your financial aid checklist, what does the “initial financial aid review” (#3) say?? also!! i just called FIT and the lady told me that they have been sending out decisions and i should be receiving one shortly.
My daughter’s says
3. Initial Financial Aid Review Completed
4. Final Financial Aid Review Award available pending admission
New to the chat but been reading it everyday just shook and waiting but i emailed fit and a lady Called Jen told me that their sending out the people who completed there stuff by feb 1st
So as we continue to wait. Does anyone have an opinion about Parsons vs FIT? I have been accepted to Parsons but FIT has been my dream school
@lbcrueltyfree My daughter decided not to apply to Parsons for fashion design. Mostly because of the focus on conceptional art and requiring a foundation year. So she decided to apply to Pratt as her second option. The other issue with Parsons was the price, not saying that Pratt is much cheaper. BUT Parsons’ main build is beautiful, no wonder it is so expensive.
Yea… it’s a lot more but I did receive some scholarship money. This wait is just so frustrating. I hope we all get in
If you don’t hear by April 1st, I’m pretty sure you’re able to call Admissions and ask for a decision via email! For now patiently waiting though
I guess there are some conclusions that can be drawn from input by various people in this chat and one other that my daughter has been paying attention:
- At least some letters of acceptance went out on March 20
- Some people in NY got their letters on Friday 22nd
- At least two girls got their acceptance letter in Los Angeles on Monday 25
- After various people commenting after they called the school, letters left FIT in bunches (not all at once) and it is perceived that they are not done sending letters. Also, there is at least one posting claiming that even after April 1, there is a possibility of getting the letter.
is there any truth to being accepted if you can see your unofficial transcript on fit website??
My daughter’s Financial Aid Checklist just changed from:
4. Final Financial Aid Review: Award available pending admission
to
4. Final Financial Aid Review: Financial Aid Package Available in April
my D’s record has the same change. hope that is good news. this is the last one she is waiting for and #1 choice. she got into Parsons already.
read somewhere that you should wait until the second week of April to call if you still haven’t gotten anything.
Anyone applied to the CFM program as a transfer student?
People were allowed to submit application and other papers require after Feb 1? I thought that was the deadline and they wouldn’t accept anything after that
Did you notice the change from “Award available pending admission” to " Financial Aid Package Available in April" after you got the letter? I guess what I’m trying to see is if FIT admissions send the letters, then they update item 4 of the financial aid thingie. Or, they update the financial aid and then send the letters so one can use it to pick at the admision status.
no letter yet. just the change on the profile. we are waiting every day.
