FIT is my dream school :( but i feel like since I’ve never been given opportunities for stuff like you have it’s making me nervous and making me feel like I won’t get in :( I’m going to be a senior next year but I’ll make sure to spend the next year in working hard to be able to get in 😭
ruth noemi hey ruth! dont get discouraged. do not minimize yourself for not having the same opportunities as other people. u are unique on your own. what do u bring to the table? what are the things u love / have been working on? put that on ur resume. go out and seek opportunities on your own to build ur knowledge! there are endless opportunities everywhere! u got this girl!!❤️❤️
Another piece of advice is that clubs are held on Thursdays 1-2 !! Try to put your classes on these days, I always made Thursday is an internship day in my schedule but I regret not making the amazing clubs more of a priority!!
thanks for this! im transferring for the 1year AMC program and it made me a lot more excited to go! I was nervous about making friends but seeing all the different ways to get involved really helped!
this helped A LOT I'm a sophomore in highschool and I don't live in America but I think THIS is what I want to be/wanna do when I get older so thank you so much
I’m from Florida too and I’ve visited the school before and I’m really interested in applying next year! Your video is really helpful. I want to go in to the fashion business major. Do you know what the typical act or sat score is for applicants?? That’s the only thing I’m worrying about. I’ve been looking around online and can’t find an exact range. Thanks!!
Maddie Laufer hey girl! where in florida?? im from vero! & sat and act scores are not as important as porfolios or resumes or the essay they require tbh
this was really helpful! i’m a junior in highschool in upstate new york and FIT is my first choice. im also hoping to try out for the volleyball team. i haven’t applied yet but it’s my dream school so fingers crossed that i get in! thanks for this video🤍
yes girl!!! try out for volleyball! my friend morgan on the team is so amazing... you will love it. and theyre really good too! playing a sport is super nice bc it keeps u busy and lets u meet new people. what major r u thinking of applying for?
Brie D'Elia awesome! i started talking to the head coach for the team so that’s a start haha. your vids make me so excited to apply!! and im looking into applying for photography, but also looking into fashion design. leaning more towards photography but i currently own both a photography business and a clothing business so i have a huge passion for both of them.
Madison Grace connections are everything. keep that one up!! also email keith, the athletic director. hes SUPER helpful. good for u madison! love an entrepreneur🥰🥰 FIT seems like it would be a great college for u!
Brie D'Elia aw thank you!! i will definitely do that. and i’m going to follow you on insta in case i come up with any questions so i can message you. thanks for your help and keep making these awesome vids!🥰
i’m currently a freshman in high school and i’m going into my sophomore year this year!! even though it seems a little early to worry about getting into college and stuff, i was wondering what classes you took that may have helped you to get into fit!!
its never too early to worry! get started now! & when i was in hs i was in a digital video class which helped and i started my own club where we created an online magazine!
I have the same exact problem!! 😭 I totally suck at math and I’ve heard they have a lot of it in those majors. I’d rather get into something creative or fashion styling. What did you choose eventually?
@@Julia-jk1ro fashion business! someone who attends FIT suggested that I do FBM for my associate's degree and then AMC for my masters. idk why i didn't think of that sooner LOL
yeah i’m in year 13! i get that omg, i’m applying this year and i’m currently finishing my application but i defo considered doing a gap year and saving!! my instagram is @ elliexxstephens if u ever wanna ask questions about the international application process 💝
So I live in Wisconsin so there aren’t many opportunities to have “experience” so will I not get in then? They just don’t care about that stuff here and it honestly sucks
Girl if u have no experience, in ur essay write about all the things you plan on doing with your major/degree. Write about your aspirations in life. Be super specific and detailed. Spend less time on what you did in high school and more on how you're meant to be within ur major. Good luck !
I like how I was looking to transfer here but I have like nothing to put in my resume that would get me in lol. I do UA-cam and acting classes and I wanna start social media management freelancing. That’s like it :(((
I'm a straight dude thinking about applying and I'm wondering if you think it would be tough to have a circle of guys to hang with. Like you, I have a lot of female friends and I'm pretty open minded about relationships, but its also important to me to just have the boys to chill with. Do you think it would be kinda a struggle?
Aidan Concannon i think it would definitely be hard but u would just have to rly try and find those dudes u an relate to. but honestly, its what u sacrifice for going to such a great school
I love in Europe and I really wanna get into this this school so like idk if it matters but would u say it would be harder or easier to get into or does it matter like does it change from people already living in America
I’m so glad I came across this video about FIT, I’ve seen a lot of videos were people say some bad things and this has made me feel a lot better about wanting to apply, also we’re do you find the clubs? x
Thank u for ur insight💖I’m a senior now and FIT is definitely one of my top choices! I was wondering if some people graduate early because of AP credits? Also, what is your view on networking/ internship opportunities for future employment?
are u wondering abt graduating early and only doing 2 yrs or doing all 4 faster and graduating in 3? bc i know there are some ppl that just get their AA at FIT and then theyre finished. as for graduating in 3 years instead of 4, i am not sure. im sure with AP credits it is possible but FIT does not require a lot of pre-reqs as it is so maybe not. majority of the classes are major specific and are based off a 4 year track. try calling one of the academic advisors!
as for internships opps / networking FIT hosts career fairs CONSTANTLY! they provide so many connections for students. theres even a center on campus specifically called career and services! also, professors are currently in/ have work in the industry before and have hella connections.
I’m currently going to be a Junior this year in high school and I’m very nervous about applying to FIT because I don’t think I’m doing enough and I don’t think I will do good on my essay, any tips? I’m also from Florida so I’m really nervous about the culture shock😬
hi michkeyrra! moving from florida to new york was def a big culture shock, but if being in NYC is ur dream then u will be fine!! as for the essay, i don't really have any tips bc the one i wrote was very personal to me. i would say write about something that is true to u! good luck! 💖
I would love to go to FIT. The only thing is I have no idea what to major in, I can sew very well but I don't know how to draw the designs so I'm just stuck there
im probably really late to asking questions but im from california and ik fit is a suny school. how was affording fit? is it expensive for out-of-state students? bc i heard they don't give aid :( im def applying - im a senior! but affording college is a big thing for me.
hi! this was a really good video. idk if u have an answer to this but if I want to get into styling is FIT a good option? and what major should I choose? I really want to do something anything related to fashion but styling is what I like the most so please give me any advice u have! thank u
hey girl! i am so sorry it has taken me so long to reply. I have asked my friend for advice and will get back to u ASAP! she goes to FIT and styles for Vogue Arabia!
Hey! So are the sports more like an intramural kinda thing? Or are they super intense? Because I’ve been playing competitive sports my whole life and wanted to have a break from it during college and just play intramurals.
Elise Jones hey elise! sports at FIT rn njcaa as oppose to njcaa (which are all the big colleges). for soccer, we practice every week day for about an hour and a half and then we have game(s) on the weekends. its kind of a mix between playing club sports vs. traditional college sports bc we dont have 2 a days but its still intense. does that help??😬
Hi! I'm thinking of applying but I'm from overseas and if I wanted to be accepted in the timeline I am planning then I would have to defer for a year. It doesn't say anything about deferring on FIT's website so I was wondering if you know if it is possible to defer or not. I'm also feeling a bit nervous about future job opportunities - does fit have good career paths post college? Thanks so much - great video girl!
Only business fashion students go to this fashion shows or and ylurs marketing communications fashion go too;i mean your major is the same involved as the business
fashion design students can go to shows, too, but they have tighter schedules and less flexibility so most of the time they do not go as often as say, FBM or AMC students
ik this sound kinda dumb but do u have to b good at like art or drawing for that school i was kind of interested because of the interior design program but i have no art skills at all and ur video is very helpful thank u:)
hi amy! i asked my friend katie about this bc she is a senior in interior design and this is exactly what she said, "A portfolio is a requirement but it’s easy enough to put together and you learn all the drawing stuff in school if you want to tell her to DM me on insta I’ll be glad to help!" lol her IG is @katie_amato - hope that helped!!
thank you so much for this video!! i'm a junior this year and looking into FIT, this was so encouraging and informative. i'm from kansas city but maybe if i'm ever in nyc we could grab coffee, i'd love to hear more about your experience!! i'm interested in going into advertising as well (my insta is @v.jenks)
So I live in Wisconsin so there aren’t many opportunities to have “experience” so will I not get in then? They just don’t care about that stuff here and it honestly sucks
Lila's Star hey lila! i would say maybe start your own biz. or get a job at a local boutique and run their social media or try and shadow someone in the field that u want to go into.. theres a bunch of ways to get involved, u just have to go out and find them!

im still debating between AMC and FBM...I'm more interested in the creative field (AMC) rather than analytics (FBM) I don't know what to choose.
