Y not? Eva Pigford made it and she's only--what?--5'6". you're not that far off. 5'5"-5'6" that's only an inch.
Jeez-UZ Christ people...Did she not say "any chance?" That means possibiltiy...and aside from the cliche "Anything's possible," tho it may not be the norm, there's still a chance that she could. Like I said, LOOK AT EVA!!!

Anyone can be a model as long as they have the right attitude, measurements are not set in stone people look for a unique look not just a few numbers. If you are happy with the work, and don't expect overnight success, you will be fine. If you are actually thinking about it here is some advise.
I have heard a lot of bad thing about SOME (not all) modelling agencies and how they make you pay for photos and photo sessions before they take you on then never give you any work. Always check with the local Better Business Bureau in teh US or Trading Standards in the Uk or Similar organisation elsewhere.
I think a better starting place before you go to agencies is if you have a friend who is reasonable with a camera (do not have to be a professional or even that good just okay) Just take 100 photos of yourself in different poses, clothing and backgrounds then pick out 10-20 nice photos. You can then use this as a portfolio, and even better instead of printing them which cost you money every time, host them on a website and get some business cards print with the website address on and just hand these out instead. This is a far cheaper way of doing it and with no RISK. You should never have to pay to get a job if you do there is a high chance it is a scam.
However if you would like a personal portfolio site please contact me and I will set you on up for free. I can design you a fully personalised flash website with as much or little information and then host it for you. This site can contain a gallery of your photos, personal information, list of work, contact details, etc or if you prefer just a couple of photos and nothing else. It can be password protected and all images will be protected as is humanly possible, or the photos can be available to download.
Examples of work can be provided on request. Just message me here if you want, I am a professional website designer but have lots of free time (and enough money) so I am currently doing free sites for small bands, small artist etc, basically anyone who could not afford them otherwise. I have my own hosting server so can offer hosting servers or you can host the site yourselves. No images sent to me will be used for anything other than your site and I will not give anyone your detail or link to the site. You will have complete control and the site can be removed or changed at any time. This is not a scam and I will design a site for FREE, I do not need the money, and enjoy working. If you do want it message me you can tell me what you want and how you want it done and I will help.
Depending how old you are I may require parents permission before i will do any work.

Yes. You will not be able to be a "high fashion" model, but you can contact petite modeling agency's or regular modeling agency's. You will do good for magazines and photos but not high fashion like vogue and runway. For runway, you need to be a tall height and slim size because that's the way the clothes are made. But more and more agency's today are opening up for shorter models. Good luck with your modeling!

Maybe as a petit model for department store magazines and whatnot... but not as a runway model, unless someone up there in control totally changes their minds about what the standard is for 'beauty'.
As of right now, though, you have to be at LEAST 5'8"... and that's considered pushing it. Most models are around 5'10" to 6'0".

You have to be at least 5'7" to join a modeling agency. So no runways for you. But if you have an exceptional beauty you could still be shot for like commercial shots and make up stuff. But it would be extremly hard.

You don't have to be tall to be a magazine/catalog model, so if you're only 5'5, you could do that. But you prob. will grow some more you know.

yes. but very unlikely, if you want to go to NY to model. You have to be VERY good, over the top. But don't get your hopes up, girl. You're not going to be no Tyra Banks when you're 5'5.

No. It is extremely unusual for a model to be under 5'8. And lilmommiNeosh is full of it.
