Nick Martinelli '13 was playing D1 soccer at UMASS this past fall but finally realized what he truly wanted to do and that was to work on the business side in the fashion industry. "So I quit soccer, applied to FIT and Parsons, and ended up getting into both, which made it a tough decision. I visited both schools, but ultimately I chose Parsons because of its reputability around the world as arguably the best design school there is, and because of the strong academics and ties Parsons has with the other schools (Eugene Lang, New School for Social Research, etc) of The New School. I'll be studying Strategic Design & Management at Parsons next fall, and I really would like to work at GQ, Mr. Porter, or a public relations agency in the city."
