Hey! Thank you for this great information ☺️ Actually I have a question about getting into FIT. 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??
Thanks a lot for the video! Such a detailed information about application process. Am planing for MFA in fashion design in FIT. I request you to please also explain portfolio process for MFA in Fashion design
I wanna go to LIM 🧚♀🛐
Do you know anything about the MFA fashion design application portfolio
SO COOL to see this!!! gone to FIT WAYYYYY BACKKKKK lol LOVE IT!!!
Any advice for low gpas ❤️
Is it necessary to know how to sew before hand? I have designed one dress before but got it sown from someone. How many sown items should we show?
Hey I was wondering, does the essay have to be 750 words? Or if you hit all the right points in the essay can you do less than 750 words?
This is an amazing video 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
You and your channel is a gift to me . You’re so amazing
Pretty skilled at vlogging! :D Good stuff April!
DEAR APRIL, firstly i wanna say that i have been researching since so long all about this, and i found you the most sweetest and smartest of all :) my question is' would i be eligible for internships under designers outside campus if I apply for fall sem [jan 1] or for internships i should think of applying now for spring sem [oct 1] ???' please help me out with this couldnt find answer anywhere and it is theeeeeeeeeee most important :(
hi!i have a question.What are the classes?like are they just about fashion or are they about different things?
Hey so i want to ask if they give the grant to the amazing students or you should pay and how much you sould pay for 1 year ? Can you answer me please too fast because i really want someone give me informations about FIT and thank you so much for this video ❤️❤️❤️
Which college costs more like tuition?
Lim College

HI! Im not sure if you are still at FIT, but I am interested in attending next fall. I was wondering if you are still there, how covid has affected your experience at campus and during classes. How virtually things have gone with everything. I want to be. photography major. I also was wondering how your expierence was if you lived on campus in the housing.
hello, I want to go go fit and can you please do a vidio of what the dorms include and what you should buy, for example "the dorms come with desks and a microwave" or somthing like that please 🥺🙃 also merry christmas 😆🎄
What was your destination for mix and match project
Thank you so much for this video!! I've watched tons of videos about FIT applications but I've never seen one this detailed. Thanks again :)
I know I’m watching this a year late but my question is as a fashion design student do you really not have the time to do anything else? I love designing and would choose if any day over academics but I would also like to try getting into the Presidential Scholars program since I have a good academic standing and have participated in a lot of leadership based clubs in highschool
Thank you so much for uploading this video it was so thorough and helpful. But I'm kinda worried because I don't really know how to sew and I know this sounds really stupid but I saw another FIT application tip video and they said that instead of sewing you can use glue to create garments and sewing is not really necessarily, however I'm not really sure about that, would you be able to clarify this? Thank you so much!!
Plz do Fit on campus jobs video
does every project/collection has to have a mood board?
where do you put these images like where do you apply your portfolio for FIT can you please help me?
Thank youuu!!
But i thought u were supposed to make separates: shirt, pants, jacket, and skirt--not a dress. 🤔 But at least I got an idea of what the portfolio should look like. Thanks.
Hey. This really helped. The part where i am struck is how should i start the essay? It would mean a lot to me if you helped. Thanks for the video tho. :)
You would think a design school would have an environment more conducive to creativity and productivity. It’s kinda bland
What’s a mentor student?
Ur videos are so helpful!! Thank you so much! I’m still young and I am in high school, I really wanna go to F.I.T. Altho this question has been bugging me lately, Could I get into FIT with out a high school diploma Or regant deploma? Bec someone told me that FIT won’t accept anyone with out one
So basically 3 wasn’t a myth 😂 why say it is when it’s not hahaha
i did all the don'ts :/
did you already submit your application? there's still time!
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?
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
@@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?
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
What about financial aid??
what about it? lol
Hi. I am applying for FIT too but I am not very sure what unit 2X2 fabric swatches is in.. Do you mind explaining? Thanksss
omg I never responded!! I'm so sorry!!! but the 2x2 fabric swatches are 2 inches wide by 2 inches length fabric samples of the fabrics you're using for your designs. I hope that clarifies your question and I'm so sorry for the delay!
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!
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
Thank you so much for responding me Do u have a sewing machine in dorm to do homework? My daughter didn’t bring hers so she went to sewing machine shop. The owner said she can buy a used industrial sewing machine for 400. I think it’s too big for her dorm. What would u suggested?
I'm so sorry for not seeing this comment until now!! But to answer your question, yes, the dorms have sewing machines students are able to use! Classrooms are also available until 2AM for them to use as well :) Buying a sewing machine isn't necessary when there are a lot of options around her but if she wants to, she's more than welcome to!
Your video really help my daughter. She is going to be a freshman this year. Yeah..... thank you Can u tell us buying tips for text books? Does she need to bring books for first class. Is there a class which don’t use text books at all?
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 just started my FIT application 🤸🏾♂️🤸🏾♂️🤸🏾♂️🤸🏾♂️🤸🏾♂️. I stayed up all night till 00:00 am 1st of August, and I started my SUNY application and I finished it!! I can’t believe it’s happening 🙃.
You got it!! and best wishes! <3
April Faith thank you 🙃🤗
Oml florida kids there gotta go!
Hey! How much design prerequisite would you say that you need to study fashion design? (I mean how well should your sewing skills be?)
Hi Kajsa! Well.. in high school I was just naturally, heavily involved in Fashion classes. I was fortunate enough that my high school offered Fashion 1-4, Fashion Merchandising, hosted annual fashion shows, participated in fashion construction competitions. I was able to do everything and we even created a fashion club too! Honestly in regards to sewing skills, I'd say to learn more than just the basics. Do something creative that'll help you stand out from the crowd! :) Hope this helps and thank you for watching! <3
April Faith Thanks!!
FINALLY WE SEE TGE COVETED WALLS IF FIT.... jesus they need some color😭😭
Thank you for watching! <3 Hope this satisfied your curiosity of FIT :)
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾
FINALYY SOMEONE SHOWS WHAT THE INSIDE OF FIT LOOKS LIKE. Why is it so secretive? There are litteraly no campus tours of fit? And it does look a little outdated will the be renovating the rest of the buildings when they build the new one. You know like update them?
Thank you so much for watching Iyron Nixon!! 😏😏😏 you will be surprised to what’s coming in my next video!! (Which is why I did a “To be continued” at the end 😉)
1) the transcript that you submit during your suny application, is it the same as the one that you submit during your FIT application? 2) when i apply, do i have to apply all at once or can i take it in steps and spread it over a long period of time? ( 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
Dear April, oh my daze thank you so much! This was oh so helpful! I just have one more piercing question: I am applying for fashion business management, so will adding the fact that i work part-time at a high-end department store (Debenhams) help my essay/application? Yours Sincerely, Essie AM. :)
Hi Essie, It's my pleasure! :) As for your question, yes! That can help your essay/application! Just be sure to emphasize how daily exposure to the end consumer's behaviors helps you get a better understanding of the target market for that department store for each brand. Something along those terms ;) Do make sure that you're tying it all back to how this experience helped you prepare your career path. Why would working for Debenhams benefit your personal interest to applying for FIT's FBM program? Critical thinking my friend ;) and it's not easy, trust me! But you will get there! Wishing you all the best! Much love, April Faith
Dear April, Thank you so much, you have been extremely helpful. Thank you again. Bye for now 🤗. Yours faithfully, Essie AM. 🙂😊
Thank you for watching Essie! and I'm always happy to help :)
How much coast fit?
it depends if you're in-state or out-of-state as well as if you're dorming or not, and if you're applying to the associate's degree or bachelor's degree :) You can find more details on FIT's website: www.fitnyc.edu/admissions/costs/cost-of-attendance.php I'll also answer this in my Q&A video that'll be released by the end of this month :) Thank you for watching and your support!

Thank you for watching :)
Are you allowed to personally deliver the portfolio in person?
Hi Maria! It seems like is all about going digital when it comes to submitting your portfolio. 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 fit_admissions@fitnyc.edu 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
