Undergraduate / My heart is for FASION; FIT-Fashion Merchandising/ Perfect candidate [5]
Does this make sense? I am definitely not finished.
What makes you a perfect candidate for FIT? Why are you interested in the major you are applying to? We'd like you to tell us in an essay. This is your chance to tell us more about your experiences, activities and accomplishments. (No more than 750 words, please.)
Growing up, my family moved several times. Entering a new school in a new town was always nerve-racking. Entering high school in a new town was extremely intimidating. The one thing that I was not fearful of was my fashion class. I had always had a special place in my heart for fashion. This class introduced me to the many fields within the fashion industry. At first I was very interested in the design, but when I realized I did not have the artistic skills needed I decided to take on the business aspect of fashion. I thought if I could not make the clothes to sell in stores I will choose what the stores will sell instead.
A degree in Fashion Merchandising from FIT will allow more opportunities to have an incredible career in the fashion industry than any other college. FIT has the credibility I am looking for in a college. The college I will be transferring from is LIM College.
While attending LIM College I completed a rewarding internship in Bergdorf Goodman's Personal Shopping department. During my internship, I assisted personal shopper Elaine Mack and several others pull and return merchandise. I was able to learn how each shopper had a unique approach to making a sale. This experience allowed me to understand how important it is to know your customer.
During my first semester at LIM I joined the Fashion Club, which produces an annual fashion show. Being behind the scenes of a fashion show for the first time was so exciting. I loved the rush of having to change the models and send them back out on the runway. The following year I was voted Style Director for the 2009 show. I was able to shop the market and meet several great designers and vendors. This experience sparked my interest in styling and trend forecasting.
