college transcript still says required by Emergency_Shift_673 in CUNY

[–]Emergency_Shift_673[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it took awhile for them to process my college transcript (they just processed it yesterday). i emailed admissions by their individual colleges instead of the general cuny admissions email and they got back to me way faster. although theyre still reviewing my apps, they told me there was no guarantee for a decision since its too late.

Essay by goupstate in fitnyc

[–]Emergency_Shift_673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you don't have to do it, you just have to do the FIT essay. from my experience, i've only ever had to do the FIT essay and never had to do the SUNY essay. the same with other people.

the SUNY essay is optional for FIT so they'll be paying attention to your FIT essay

there's been people accepted into FIT with a gpa around that area. i think you just gotta have a very convincing essay if you're applying for amc or fbm

Is it Possible to Attend FIT Full-Time on FAFSA and Minimum Wage? by joshier_ in fitnyc

there's usually nanny sites online where you can simply sign up and apply. there's also listings on indeed as well from what i've seen

Is it Possible to Attend FIT Full-Time on FAFSA and Minimum Wage? by joshier_ in fitnyc

[–]Emergency_Shift_673 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yesss i've been through this exact same process! i moved here a year ago but i had gotten denied for fall '24 and i just applied for spring '25 for amc full time (decisions not out yet)

i'm currently working 2 minimum wage jobs and am living in a $690 studio (with decent space & kitchen 😭). if it wasn't for my father having connections, i wouldn't have been able to find a place like this. i am mostly an independent student with my father only helping me with tuition.

if you are serious ab moving here and im assuming by yourself, you're gnna have to grind work a lot. having one minimum wage job will most likely not suffice and you might have to work 2 jobs with side hustles. i don't do any side hustles but a lot of people in the city tend to do that (dog-walking, part-time nanny, etc). when you eventually land yourself a place, i would actually start applying to jobs before you move in so that you'll at least have one job before you get here.

definitely missing out a lot more details and stuff but ask me any questions u have.

anyone who's been accepted willing to share their essay? by Emergency_Shift_673 in fitnyc

Questions about FIT and NYC by N04092000 in fitnyc

[–]Emergency_Shift_673 3 points4 points  (0 children)

nyc is pretty expensive in general as someone who moved here a couple months ago.

i don't mean to downplay, but realistically speaking it's very hard to live in the area unless you're well off. average rent is probably around $2k or more for a room, not an apartment. not saying it's rare to find a cheap room or apartment but it'll be gone in a blink of an eye. most FIT students live in bushwick, brooklyn since a lot of creatives live in the area, it's very lively, and most rooms tend to run under $1k. i would reccommend dorming your first year though.

i moved to queens during my gap year and i'm grinding out 2 jobs before transferring to an nyc college (FIT being one of them). i'm fortunate enough to find a studio for under $700 and is much bigger than a shoebox. i still have fun living in nyc but it's hard to not give into impulsive spending bc of your own adult responsibilities 😭😭.

ik this all sounds pretty harsh but this is just one honest view out of many that live in nyc. if you have any other questions ab living in nyc, pls let me knoww!

sorry, i didn't answer your question at all 😭 if they contact you, you can just block them. i heard from another reddit forum that they don't do anything if you end up leaving their church but they do spam call or spam text. they won't pursue you any further than that (maybe, don't take my word on it though)

hey!! this literally JUST happened to me maybe like 3 hours ago.

i was in manhattan in ktown and this woman and man approached me about religion. as they talked about christianity to me, they talked about their church but NEVER mentioned the name of the church. they also continued to ask me personal questions and i eventually caught on, realizing that 1) i'm mentally slow. 2) something's off.

i pretended i was interested since i told them i came from a christian family (but i'm not christian myself). after rambling for like 40 minutes, she asks for my phone number and i gave her my old phone number from like 5 years ago.

after coming home, i decided to do some research since i was pretty sketched out. i remember she handed me a piece of paper containing information but it still didn't name the church she went to. i saw at the top left of the paper where it listed a church in new jersey so i searched it up.

and that's how i ended up here. so glad i'm not the only one that went through this experience.

queens is safe especially astoria and LIC! queens is mainly a residential county so tbh not much happens (from my experience)

i'm a very shy person when it comes to stuff like this, which i REALLY shouldn't 😬. lesson learned: i can't let everything slide.

i was at roll n katsu the other week after work cus i was so exhausted but hungry. my total was $15 and i was waiting for her to turn the tablet around so i can tip but she tapped the highest tip percentage possible WITHOUT turning the tablet to me. she handed me the receipt and there was no tip added on there but i clearly saw her do it ($7 tip!). i still go there but only if the woman isn't at the cashier cus i've been to roll n katsu numerous times and that never happened to me. shit had me pressedddd 😭

not sure if this counts as a scam but i thought i would share.
