Got into FIT

[GiltEdge]

I go accepted into FIT for Textile Development and Marketing. I am pretty sure that I am going to chose them over Parsons, Pratt and Purchase. I just feel that this program is going to lead me in the direction I want to. I think the other schools with the programs I applied are going to put me onto the fine arts path. So does anyone have any advice for someone who will be one of the few straight guys there. I am from Long Island and know the city well, so it is not like I need to be warned about NYC. Any personal stories about the school, people I might want to inquire about for a job or internship...

Everyone I know at FIT is either a Thai girl, a Korean girl, a guido girl, or a gay guy. I've banged most of them too. YEAH U READ DAT RIGHT. YEAH EVEN THAT PART.

I'd like to think that the girls that just got in because they could draw well will eventually transfer out when they learn Ed Hardy and uggs are not fashion.

I'm a high school senior currently looking at schools for fashion merchandising. I must say, after sitting through the information session at FIT a week or so ago, I did not find the appeal to be as strong as it was before for me. Something felt really impersonal about the presentation. Most of the video was about design majors and other hands on majors, except for the part about the fmm majors and their boutique.

Well it is a massive school. What I have learned from those in the fashion industry is that regardless of what people may say about FIT, it is a major hub. All types of people go there, whether they will creat timeless fashions or revolutionize the industry, created trash for trash, or found the next major store. Many people pass through FIT, they have so many programs and despite what people say their professors are in the industry, many are famous and successful. Some companies actually make their staff go to FIT to take courses for additional knowledge. Yeah the "fmm" as you call it, from say Parsons looks great, even though you have spent 250K in 4 years, but FIT may be where you end up studying a specific area. Also I would look at FIT's International Business/trading (I don't remember the name, its rather long), it sounds like a program for someone that really wants to go far in merchandising, the average "fmm" doesn't go on making 500K a year at Bloomingdales.

I would have assumed that a business/commerce degree would be necessary for this, not a fashion school pseudo business degree/diploma (what do you get awarded?). I guess this is my ignorance. Up here, we don't really have schools like this I know of, that are not associated (right or wrong) with substandard education academically, if not a pure trade school.

Stalking implies I followed you in to this thread, but this is your first post; what I was doing however was making fun of you, which is completely different thing.
