hi tyra,when i saw your show and you said that short is the new tall my heart skipped a beat,i got so excited.i always had it inthe back of my mind that i would like to do something like that but thought it was unrealistic because of my height.iam 5'2 and 3/4 but i say im 5'3.i now have two kids and would love to show them that you can accomplish your dream eventhough society says you have to be a certain way to get that dream.anyways i missed the deadline cause i dont have a computer and i got lost on the website and i couldnt find the right information until now.i pray to god that you do this again for another season.i will work my heart out to get in shape for it if you do. love your show and what you are doing for women around the world.

Tyra, I commend you for opening your competition to girls who are shorter. However, I think you missed the mark when you call it America's Next Petite Top Model. The shortest contestant is 5'3? Where are the girls who are 5'2, 5'0, 4'11, etc? To be exact women are considered petite when they are 5'4 and under. No disrespect to the other girls, but 5'5, 5'6, and 5'7 is NOT petite.

Tyra, How about taking on another challenge?? Models over 30, those of us that were missed, pursuing educations, serving in the Army and have heard "you should be a model", I am 5'11, 116 pounds, hated by many women because of my ability to eat what I want!

Hi Tyra! Let me just start off by telling you that you are truely a beautiful woman! I tried out for cycle 14 in July but still have not gotten a call back, i really hoped that I could get this opprotunity to shine and show the world what im made of! My boyfriend is going to Afganastan in Sep. and I was inspired some how to be the best I could be when he's away not only do I have a dream of becoming a model and believe that this is what I was born to do but I wanted to make my soilder proud of me as well, though I believe that God will open doors for me if I just keep trying and don't give up! -Emily Kane
