FIT Fall 2019

I’m so nervous, I’m wondering if I should call the admissions office regarding my decision to SUNY FIT Korea…aghhhhhh I want to call so bad but I’m too nervous to think about what happens if I don’t get it. It’s a miracle if a transfer student gets accepted anyway…maybe I’ll just wait until Wednesday to see

I called and asked for an electronic decision but the lady said I had to wait for it to come in the mail. Is that a bad sign?? I applied for fashion design non transfer.

@jendclifford Just opened the letter. I was placed on the waitlist. Letter states, "Based on the competitive nature of the applicant pool and the limited number of available spaces, we have placed your application on our waitlist. Please know that we will give your application every consideration as we determine which applicants can be removed from the waitlist. We will make every effort to notify you of the admissions decision as soon as possible.

more waiting. It says that I will receive an update on my application status on or around July 1 ! ??‍♀️

My d called and they emailed her, she’s been accepted into the AAS Fine Arts program.

Hey does anybody know the chances for a transfer student to get into fashion design? Are all transfer student chances slim? Im too scared to ask for the email…

@katerinaxo hey I applied to FBM last year and I got put in the waitlist for NYC, don’t be discouraged tho, you can still send additional documents such as your updated transcript, call so they know you’re still interested, send them an email, keep in contact but at the same time don’t do it too often. If you have a great resume they accept that too.

@jendclifford Jewelry design?! that sounds so awesome! A girl in my class last semester was in that major and she would always wear her own pieces which I thought was soo fckng cool!

I am a transfer student from Ohio and I just got my letter and was accepted into FBM! When I called admissions earlier she said that it was sent out Friday and its marked the 23rd. There is still hope! Many more letters are on the way

When I called earlier she said that if I did not receive my letter by Wednesday then she would email me but wouldn’t give me my decision today

@xxstephq hi, yea no, i’m not discouraged lol To be placed on the waitlist of this competitive program is surprising. Many already got rejection letters so I’m still hopeful for being considered. But if things don’t turn out as I hope they will then it will suck even more to have been waiting for nothing you know?

Did you end up getting in? when did you receive the final decision?

Congrats to those getting good news! Have any of you been accepted as incoming freshmen with none of your info changing? Still nothing in the mail and no changes to my D’s financial aid page/COA. Going crazy here!

@katerinaxo hey, well I was on the waitlist for quite a while, and I got nervous about not being accepted so I applied to SUNY WCC and now I attend there. I was on the waitlist until August 1st, which is the last day tp be put on wiaitlist and then you get a letter in the mail. They sent me a letter saying “thank you for your interest but due to the competitive…” so I didn’t get in the end lol but dont give up. Calling is better than emailing. My friend was in the same boat as me, FBM freshman and waitlisted but she got it, she called around May and she got in which I was happy for her

@xxstephq what did she call for tho (what did she say)? I’m already a college graduate so I will not have any updated transcripts. I’m trying to get internships but they all want a student that’s currently enrolled. Ill keep trying to find one tho, it’s all about connections these days so.

Thank you for the encouragement =) lol

Samee. Just called and was told I had to wait for the package until Wednesday. If not by Wednesday, they’ll send an email.

@katerinaxo well we both got our letters for the waitlist at different times, I got mine first then she did. It could also be because we’re from the same school only a certain amount of people got in. Anyway we called and asked various questions like what can we do to help us. The lady that answered said it depends on the number of people who actually attend (she was straight with us) and then when there’s open spots for waitlist applicant (note they already have spots open for reg admission) then they would go down the list. She said to update transcript, I asked if a resume was fine and she said yes. We could visit the school and talk to admissions, or go for college tours (because believe it or not they help). It was helpful for my friend too because she did FIT summer program for high schoolers for 2 years so

mail still didn’t arrive. Make the call and you will get the email. So much less stress to just have an answer. No idea where or when her packet will ever arrive!

@TGmom2022 They said I won’t get an email until I wait for Wednesday or the package to come around.

Hey I called and within two minutes i got the emal and I GoT IN!!! FIT was my other top school aside from parsons which i got rejected from, this is literally insane omg and I got into the textile design program.

@xxstephq I am pretty sure since the application deadline is in June, I am guessing they haven’t released yet. I was going to apply to SUNY KOREA FIT if I didn’t get accepted to FIT NYC, but I got accepted luckily. Good LUCK!!!

@quirkygirly Congratulations!! Did you ask for an email?
