Wait, why are you simply not going in for an interview? I've given many interviews for that school and the "in-person" ones always fair much better.

discuss two.. what if they're not impressed with one :)  Based on your work, I'd admit you for undergrad ^^

@Non Sequitur I live in BC, unfortunatly I cant go to the interview because I really dont have the budget, and my AP calc final is around the time the interviews are scheduled this year.

@accesskb Thanks for the advice! I'll see if I can make it work. and thank you! it means a lot. 

Janbreeze, fair-enough I guess. Not everyone makes it down for the in-person interviews. I've done many in-person interviews but I've never participated in the video (mail-in) or skype ones.

From what I see in your website, the strongest pieces are those ink sketches. I would try and give some attention to these because the reviewers are more interested in the quick & dirty sketches than a few polished pieces complete with elaborate background stories. It is the quality of the student's sketchbook that wins them entrance.

Also, almost everyone applying shows fashion drawings and photography... leave those out of your interview.

@Non Sequitur Thank you for the advice!! I will definitely discuss my sketches in the video then. 

Do you think I should just leave the photography and fashion drawings out of my portfolio?

Janbreeze, don't totally leave them out, but keep them as background noise... nothing more.

Thanks for all of your advice! I  received an offer of admission from waterloo arch. yesterday :) 

Hi Janbreeze congrats !! I've received an offer from waterloo arch too and I live in BC as well! Im just rly curious about what others did for their portfolio. can u paste a link on here? Also, I'm deciding between U of T and waterloo, are u going to waterloo for sure?
