“I first joined Kleinfeld Bridal as a sales intern — a position I got through the LIM Career Fair. Kleinfeld is one of the biggest and best bridal stores in the world, with a huge dress selection and hit reality TV show, Say Yes to the Dress. After a few months, I became Pnina Tornai’s exclusive intern and was responsible for the visual representation of her in-store boutique.”

My transfer process was supersmooth. All of my transfer credits from my previous school transferred to LIM, so I wasn’t here taking any extra courses or making up any credits.”

“
LIM took all of my credits from both my previous schools, which was one of the biggest reliefs throughout the entire process. Plus, LIM’s Transfer Services team was a tremendous help with my questions and with making sure I was on the right track when it came to the courses I’d be taking. I also received an Academic Achievement Scholarship, which was a big financial help.”
