Get experience before you start applying, find your look and niche. Whether it be commercial, fashion, beauty...whatever. Agencies do make exceptions, they don't flaunt it but they do, but you've got to be worth making an exception for. An important aspect of modeling isn't just the requirements but having a unique look. They need to think they can book you work, despite your height.
