I need to plan my application timeline for the Fashion Institute of Technology. Can anyone tell me when FIT's admissions deadline is? Do they have early action or regular decision deadlines?
The Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) operates on a rolling admissions deadline, rather than having specific early action or regular decision deadlines. For the Fall semester, the priority deadline is January 1, after which applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until the start of the semester. For the Spring semester, the priority deadline is October 1.
Remember that even though FIT has a rolling admissions system, it's still beneficial to apply as early as possible. The earlier you apply, the better your chances of being admitted and securing your chosen course. As time goes on, spaces can fill up, especially for popular courses.
It's also important to keep in mind that FIT’s Art and Design programs require a portfolio submission after your school transcript and test scores have been reviewed. Your portfolio is a crucial part of your application and takes time to prepare, so you'll want to get started on that as well. To be safe, aim to submit all your materials well before the priority deadlines.
