FIT Fall 2019

for those of you who’s COA has changed, before it changed, did “initial financial aid review” (number 3 on the checklist) say “application pending to be reviewed” ?

Ugh I’m so nervous I am still waiting for a letter and every day that goes by I lose a little faith.

@honda05 I applied for fasfa and this year I’m independent. Under my financial aid checklist it says a budget sheet is requested by the counselor at the office. Soo I feel like they wouldn’t ask for no reason. Idk. But my COA did update not to long ago. Still waiting on a letter tho.

hey under my final financial aid review section it says “financial aid package available in april” is this a good sign?

Found this on the FAFSA site. Hopefully, it is true.

“It is possible to file your FAFSA before applying for admission to a college, but the schools will generally not package an award offer for you until you have been admitted to their school. So the FAFSA information will be sent to the colleges but you will not receive an award offer until you are admitted.”

Did any of the international students get their letters?

Someone from Iceland posted their acceptance on Instagram #fitwelcome
Not sure if that helps or not!

Do they send an email first?

I’m an international student (from England) and I got my acceptance letter yesterday! They sent me a text with tracking info the day before it arrived.

My DD got her acceptance today in Westchester NY. Fine Arts AAS program

have any transfers heard back?

I’m a transfer nothing yet. :neutral:

Any new acceptance news? Or changes in portals after receiving the acceptance letters?

@kmalin checked the mail and nothing.

I got in Fashion Design!!! My COA changed and all my financial stuff. Best wishes to everyone and hope to see you there!!!

Any transfer students or ppl that applied for a bachelors’ get anything yet? I’m only 40 mins (train ride) away from FIT and still nothing, while International students from Iceland, England and also out of the state students have gotten their letter of acceptance already ?. FIT only accepts transfers if there are slots left. Someone from the dept I applied to actually told me that, no matter how perfect you may be for the school if there’s no space, then you’re not getting in bc they prioritize their own FIT students or newcomers that will start college with them.

will my COA change only if I filled out fafsa? also I went on my application status and my major was finally added to say Fashion Business Mgmt/1YR AAS and it was not there a few days ago, is that a good sign?

My daughter got her packet today. We’re in western Maryland. Applied in December. COA changed first week of March. She isn’t home, so I don’t know what is in the packet.

@Eightd were there any other changes on the portal, or the only sign of acceptance is the physical packet?

so far have only outstanding applicants gotten accepted?
