Hey everyone, my name is Isabella, I’m 17 and I’m from Venezuela. I am currently a high school senior (my classes start late September and i graduate late June for anyone asking) More than obvious of course that I’m planning to attend to the FIT, for the AMC major (Advertising and Marketing communications) First the 2 years AAS and then the 2 years BS. Even tho I’m graduating next year, I’ll apply to Fall 2018 since and leaving to NYC in Mid august 2017 to prepare with Kaplan (for anyone who doesn’t know what kaplan is: is a company if thats how you call it that offers you english courses abroad in many different cities, also they have preparation courses for the TOEFL and different more english exams that some colleges require international students, and of course i chose nyc because is the city i’m going to live right? lol, here is their page http://www.kaplaninternational.com ) ok lets continue lol, i plan to finish my TOEFL preparation and obtain it between Mid August to Mid december, since FIT SUNY Application deadly normally is early January, so i need to obtain my toefl before late december. Then i’ll start my application(((: LONG LONG explanation but just wanted to let you guys know more about me. I decided to create this discussion since its really hard for me to find other people who is planning to apply to the FIT as an international student, and i know for experience that its such a lonely anxious feeling, so we can discuss everything from application, majors to housing/dorming, everything you guys would like to discuss, also any international student enrolled at FIT who would like to share their experience, tips, etc, is of course more than welcome, so yeah i hope this can be really helpful for all of us.
