And that's not true jaina... look at Victoria's secret models. tyra bank purposefully joined vs because she was curvier than they average model.

Depends on where you model for. If for a clothing line they want like stick thin ladies as Jaina said. But for local modeling agencies I'm sure you have a shot, just send in some pics and give it a chance :)

That's not necessary true either. I model freelance, and its a blast. You hypothetically could get signed for commercial as well, but its going to be difficult, depending on your location. If you don't mind, what are you other measurements? weight, and bust, waist, hip measurements? and general area? Sage, Victoria's secret is a bad example. they are the market exclusion and their goal is skinny but busty models. A great site to check out is Newmodels.com. its pretty informative. But also remember, There is a place for every girl in a freelance world to model! No matter what your size. Modelmayhem.com is a great way to try that out, and see how you feel about photoshoots, and modeling in general. If it's your passion, give it a try! Good Luck!

Unless you can be signed with a great company I'd say freelance. Don't sign with local agencies because they're probably just going to jip you. Ex: companies that come up to you at the mall. That's a big no.
