I'm from India and I will be in class 12 (last year of my high school) this year 2023 and I wanna take admission in FIT next year 2024 so when should I apply for it? My final exams will be in March 2024 so can I apply before my exams??

Hello, for the fabric swatches, do we REALLY need to get 2x2 swatches of the fabric? or can we just take a picture of it and crop it to 2x2 and print it out. Also in the 4-9 original images, can we input a mood board before the actual fashion sketches? or do you just need to write the inspiration in the description?
@AprilFaith
@AprilFaith 6 жыл бұрын
Hi Clarence! Yes, for the swatches, you do need the actual fabric so FIT can see the texture of your garments. Real designers do this as well so they're really testing you on your skills of following directions. Trust me, you don't really want to find any short cuts for this application. As for your second question, I'm not sure if I'm understanding what you're asking for. It is a requirement to have the mood page so yes? and it's also a requirement to write the inspiration of the mood page as well as your sketches, so yes? lol Once again, real designers do this verbally when they present their designs. Since you're not physically presenting your portfolio to FIT, they're having you write them down instead! Hope this helps and best wishes to your application!

April Faith thank you!! by my second question i meant like for the original sketches part ( 2nd part after the mix & match) can i put the mood board one image and then fashion sketches for that mood board after for the other (4-9) ex.) mood board image - fashion sketch 1 - fashion sketch 1 and then mood board 2 image- fashion sketch 3 - fashion sketch 4
@AprilFaith
@AprilFaith 6 жыл бұрын
@@soobining If I'm not mistaken, I believe you are only to have one mood board for your entire portfolio. By doing so, it will show that you can create a collection rather than individual pieces or designs. Emphasis on the "collection" as FIT really focuses on that cohesiveness. It also applies in the industry to do so. Hope this helps :) and best wishes!

Wow finally some menswear students!!! i applied for menswear for the fall 2019 semester. By the way, when you’re dorming do you think i would be able to bring my own sewing machine? or would that take up a lot of space or is it not allowed in the dorms?
@AprilFaith
@AprilFaith 6 жыл бұрын
You should be able to! A hand full of my friends had their own in their dorms or apartments. I would just make sure it's easy to plug in and out because table space might be tight in the dorms. But they also have sewing machines in the dorm lobbies! You'll just need your own equipment similar to the sewing rooms in the campus. Be warned though, they might not be as accessible during midterms and finals! And congrats on getting accepted!! I'm excited for you to start! <3

Hello please help! Im tryna do my portfolio its due in 2 days fml. So for the third project, would it be possible to incorporate my design sketches into the image? I was thinking of doing a collage of the garment being modeled and inserting my sketches along side it. I think my design sketches help show i put in a lot of work to bring that design to life, so id like to incorporate that into my submission but i would not if it goes against what the instructions ask for, it did not say u could not do this but i did notice i hadnt seen anyone use their design sketches in project 3. And lastly project 1s instruction has been modified,its the same but they added "imagine you are designing 5 pieces" i take it that my main focus is to design a top jacket skirt pant and show the front and back, but anything extra i add to the outfit is not going to be looked at. Id suppose id make the shoes on my model minimal and avoid over accessorizing? I was really tempted to design a bag but i started going overboard with my bag design on project one; which im getting at would not be appreciated anyhow bc its not a requirement in project 1. Should i just scrap this extraneous design? Sorry for the loooong comment! And thank you in advance your video is super informational!
@AprilFaith
@AprilFaith 6 жыл бұрын
OMG I never responded!! I'm so sorry!! idk if this will help anymore but yes! the more creative you are for project 3, the better! But again, this portion is focusing on analyzing your sewing construction skills. As for project 1, accessorizing is good! I know my professor was fascinated whenever a student had the complete look (which is what you want to have) Just be sure that it's still cohesive with the overall look and aesthetic of your collection! Look at how the models are dressed for runway shows. Use your observations from that as a guideline :) And I'm sorry again for the delay in responding..! I can't believe I haven't seen this until now! Lmk what you ended up doing and fingers crossed that you get accepted!!

Hey april can you help me out and please answer my questions, I'd be so so thankful! ❤ - 1) how do we have to send our portfolio? In person or digitally? Coz im from Sweden and I wanna apply to FIT and also how can students apply from abroad? 3) where can I find all the questions and tasks for the fashion design major that we need to do in order to get in? 2) does FIT give scholarship to international students? 3) Do we have to give an interview in person before we get in coz I don't live in new york so do I have to travel over there just to give an interview in person in order to get in? 4) do they send acceptance email if we do get in? And how to send all the money? 5) I took Arts stream for my 11th and 12th grade ( which had subjects like geography, English, history, political science, fine arts, multimedia and fashion designing) so I didn't have math and I wanna apply to go to FIT next year so I will have to give my SAT exam and since I didn't have math, my scores in SAT for math and science probably won't be good so will I still have chances to get in FIT even if my SAT exam score is low? Is SAT exam necessary? . I know its really long but im just looking for some answers and wanna be sure before apply. I REALLY HOPE YOU REPLY, THANKS 🙏❤

OMG I'm so sorry I didn't see this until now!! I hope it's not too late but to answer your questions, 1. They prefer you submit them digitally. The link below will show you where to submit it :) 2. You'll be able to find everything you need in the following link: www.fitnyc.edu/apply 3. I don't believe there are in person interviews so you don't need to worry about traveling :) 4. I believe they only send acceptance letters via snail mail. Which means you'll receive a physical letter with instructions about orientation and how to complete your acceptance. They also accept payments online! 5. SAT aren't necessary for admissions. They use it as a guideline to place you in your liberal arts classes and that's about it! No worries! I hope this finds you well and I'm so sorry for the delay!! Do keep me posted on your application process! Fingers crossed and best wishes <3

Congratulations to your daughter!! I'm so happy for her! As for books, most of the professors won't require students to bring the text book on the first day of class as they mostly go over the syllabus and what to expect in the class. I would highly recommend scanning the books from the library if they're available. It does take time scanning page by page, but definitely better than buying a book! The next option is to rent them or buy them used! Hope this helps and congrats again! Happy I could help :) <3

( I am from the uk and my gcse results come out late august this year, but i will be writing my SATs early october this same year.). 3) I've started writing my essay, but now i feel a writers block coming smh.

Hi Essie 😊 ooo I love the fact that you’re starting so early!!! As for your questions: 1. Yes, the transcript for the SUNY and for the FIT applications is the same. They just want you to submit it twice. Once for the State University’s record and the second time for FIT’s record :) 2. Yes! You can spread it over a long period of time! It just depends on when the applications are available online. 3. That’s totally fine! Stepping away from it will always help you refocus and think more creatively! Remember, nothing is done perfectly the first time. So if t helps, have an outline or a rough draft of what you want to say and build upon those main components you want to focus on! You’ve still got plenty of time so you’re good to take a break from it and do some brainstorming! :) Hope I was able to help 😊 And greetings from the states btw!I wish you all the best to your application! Do let me know if I’m have any other questions! I’m more than happy to help! Much love, April Faith

Here's what I found on their website: "After receiving confirmation that your application was received by FIT, within two weeks you will receive an email from [email protected] that includes a link to submit the portfolio for your major." I think this way it's easier for them to keep track of everything when it's all digital. Hope this helps and best wishes to your application!! Much love, April Faith
