ive come back to this video a lot tbh. sheridan has been my dream school since grade 6, im going into grade 11 and feel like im falling behind on almost everything for the portfolio but watching videos of people like you talking about your experience with applying makes me a lot more calm :)
You mentioned that you planned all of this when you were 16, and thank god I am not crazy. I'm a highschooler checking to see if Sheridan is a good college to go to (although might be slow since I haven't touched animation or most things at all), I realized I never really considered how student life and all that is, I guess I was just excited for the experience, not how the people acted. It might not be good since I live in the US and don't know if its a good choice, but it is definitely apparently cheaper compared to Calarts or UCLA. I'm not really planning, just laying out my choices. I hope to get in once I get to plan out my college and future. Animation is my favourite and I love to story tell.
HI I WOULD LOVE IF I COULD TALK TO U HAHAHA BC IM INTERNATIONAL AND IM STRUGGLING WITH...pretty much everything and I don't have any idea of what to do or any help from anyone... Sheridan is my dream, I just started my application admission form and I would really love some help :") so uh, yeah
hi! i'm also international and trying to figure out everything little by little, so if you need emotional support or help while researching I'm in the same situation
This is such thorough and helpful advice! Been drawn to Sheridan since I read up on them, but I’m in my late 20’s and would be an international student as well (USA). A little worried I started pursuing art and animation too late, and questioning if moving to another country/taking out loans to go is the right choice. It was nice to listen to you talk practically about your experience! 😊
@@apollinares1938 Thank you for the kind response! It’s silly, but seeing such talented people in their teens/early 20’s was making me feel like I missed my window. It’s honestly so reassuring that other people my age are in the same boat. Good luck with everything!
aghh I'm so nervous since Sheridan is also expensive but I was wondering if there's a scholarship for international students as well and when's the best time to start on the portfolio?
@@apollinares1938 and what about grants? :o Does Sheridan provide any? For example when you attempted different art contests, had high GPA and IELTS band score or were active in school life in your previous country, etc. Is there any chance?
there are also algonquin and seneca colleges! they’re 3 year programs but both very good, especially seneca. they’re much less money and though sheridan is somewhat better, i wouldn’t say it’s THAT much better to be worth the increased price lol
hi, I just saw this! while Seneca and Algonquin are cheaper/less competitive, idk if they give you degrees, which you need for a PGWP. as an international, I couldn't apply to Seneca because it only offers a diploma (which means I won't be able to work in Canada after graduation, which is ultimately what I want). I've heard good things about Rubica, too, but again, I'm not sure because idk your specific needs.
How do you pay for the expenses, I cannot get that big of a loan for tuition after the first year, can you pay your tuition for the following years working part time and during the breaks? No body talks about the finances in these spheres, I come from a third world country and ain't no way I'd be making that much money just working here.
Hey! Thanks for the info, it’s all really useful, i was wondering how the process worked though (i tried looking at the website but didn’t find the info😅): when do the specific requirements for the portfolio appear on the website? How should you send them? What else do you have to send other than your portfolio? How much time do you have from the requirements being posted and you having to send it? When do they tell you if you’ve been accepted? Sorry if it’s a lot but i want to know both to look at the right time and to learn how to maximize my time. (Also as an Italian whose final grades also come in June, do you have any advise to avoid too much trouble like you described?) Ps I’m sorry if some of this is choppy or misspelled, as i mentioned English is not my first language
Hello, student from the UK here! I’m aware this video was made a while ago, but I wanted to ask you about the Sheridan admission requirements when it comes to A-Levels. Did you do an art related A-Level, and if you did, would you say it was essential for you to have done so in order to get in? Thank you in advance.
I have another question, how do you take life drawing classes when you’re under 18, I’m curious because my birthdays in March after the cut off point to send in your application, and I’m presuming your birthday is after February as well although I know I could be wrong, and it’s in September so you have to time to take some, but if you’re like me and you took some life drawing classes over the summer at 17, how?
When i search up animation courses in sheridan three different ones appear Animation, Honours Bachelor Computer Animation Digital Creature Animation - Technical Direction Which one did you apply to?
One you also aren't seeing because you searched animation is Feature Film Honours Bachelors, so you should look into that one vs TV animation since they both are animation careers and very similar with small differences
Hello, I am a fresh high school graduate and I tried to apply for the 2020 animation but got rejected. I am going to apply for APW, but in order for me to stay in Canada, I need to be a full-time student in a uni or college so I can get a student visa. How were you able to stay in Canada and go to APW only? did you apply for a work visa or temporary residence? I would really love some advice:) Thank you!
I know APW has gone online. You don't need a student visa to get in. I think it's first come first serve idk. I do know the program runs for 4 months from September to February. Check their website though
Hi... I'm gonna go for college next year..... I wanna do animations.. but I picked this interest pretty recently..... Let me tell u everything about my situation cause i really REALLY need help...i don't think I'm that good in drawing yet... I'm studying in cbse... Which means i really have to focus in my 12th grade... And also given the present situation I can't go for physical classes for drawing or anything..... My school ends around the end of February and start of March... And the fall semester or most colleges start October.... So that gives me something around 5 to 6 months.... If i go for classes during that time and learn would i be able to come out with a good portfolio in time for submitting my application ? And what classes should I take exactly? Is there any suggestions or solutions anyone can give cause i don't know what to do and I'm freaking out..... Please help me... Give me whatever advice and tips u have..... Should i just take a gap year or something ?
Hi, how are you? I'll give you a suggestion. I also haven't finished high school yet, but when I finish, I will spend a year studying and focusing on my portfolio to be able to apply to the colleges I want! I would suggest that you, after finishing school, spend some time studying, and instead of applying to college in the same year you graduated from high school, you could apply the following year. I'm sure that by doing this you will be better at drawing, more mature, and more determined about what you want. One more year makes no difference at the end!!! Hope this helpes, and good luckk!!
I was thinking of applying to Bournemouth universities in the uk as well as Sheridan and Teesside, as I thought Bournemouth was number 3 in animation internationally, but you said there is no good art unis in the uk, was just wondering what you thought on that ? Thanks for the help
@@apollinares1938 that makes sense ! To be honest I love animation in general and I was thinking of going into more the 3D / Games Art side of things. Thanks for the help !! Really means a lot. It’s just weird that when you search up international animation unis ranking it’s always placed quite high up, weird, anyways thanks again for the help !
Hi, how are you? thank you so much for making this video! helped me a lot! I really want to do animation in college, and since I discovered Sheridan, my dream is to go there. But I am an international student, and I don't know if it is too expensive to study there! What are the prices for an international student?
hello! I am an aspiring artist and was wondering what do you use to create your digital works (do you use a specific laptop? or a two in one tablet?) i think your art is stunning by the way! i also strive to apply to Sheridan in the near future, so I'm very appreciative of your video! :)))
@Mohit Malik Sort of but in the states a college of the same major with less opportunities opened up opportunities be precisely $50,000 for a single year (not including housing) and the scholarships you can get would only cut it down to 30,000 maybe (assuming you do a lot of scholarships). It would be the same price for more opportunities. Plus the best animation colleges in America are mainly in California, which has a much much higher cost of living than the location of Sheridan. And on a student visa you still receive free healthcare while in America you still pay healthcare as well.
@Mohit Malik Oh, then yeah if you have good options around you, you should definitely take those. I think Sheridan is mainly popular for opening options for Canadians and Americans who don't have better options. If you still do want to try international, you could try checking out Gobelins in France, but an option near you is typically ideal
Hello! So sorry to bother you with a comment so late- but for the portfolio pieces, do they all have to be drawn traditionally? Or can they be digital?
Hi! I am going to graduate from high school in December 2021. I wanted to know when do i need to apply for Sheridan, and when classes would start! Thank you!
hi! what uk schools did you apply to? unfortunately like most due to my background I can't afford a us or Canadian course and will be staying in England
I'm not them, but I thought I'd share which uk ones I applied to, too. I applied to University of Hetfordshire, Bournemouth University, and Arts University Bournemouth. I applied to the first two for 3d animation/vfx, and the third one for 2d animation. There are other art schools in England too, like NUA and UAL, but I didn't apply there because they didn't really have as strong animation programs as I was looking for.
@@outlawbri Yeah I applied to Hertfordshire for 2d and received an unconditional and will be applying to AUB through UCAS extra day you know what course you decided on? Are you a 2021 applicant?
@@r4mdisk Sorry I just saw this-- I'm still waiting on my top choice Gobelins, and that is likely where I will attend. Otherwise, probably Hetfordshire!
@@outlawbri ooh I hope you got in and thank you both for the feedback! I’m going to arts university Bournemouth despite getting my unconditional from Hertfordshire, I live in the area and really wanted to get away from my home and knew people that did both courses! Personally I really wanted to go to a specific art school and the location is what helped me decide!
I remember my freshmen year of highschool i hated my art class because all i wanted to draw was anime girls. But after i saw the portfolio requirements i was SO embarrassed because almost everything from that class was needed on the importabt
hi, thank you so much for this video, it help soooo much 💗 but since i'm international, I'm a little confused on the portfolios deadlines! if I want to go there by 2021, when should I send my application? thank you for reading!
I'm so grateful you made this video, I feel stupid as a brit for even considering the school but maybe now it can happen. I hope you make more videos on this topic in the future, perhaps even something about the cost of living. Sheridan certainly seems more reasonable than Calarts but I was wondering how the financial aspect has affected you.
Hey!!! thank you so much....am in 9th and i really wanna apply to sheridan....but am scared and am not so good with life drawings and perspectives... can u suggest me something?
Is there any course for beginners animatiors who don't know how to draw because I want to apply for any course or academy so I would have a chance on being accepted on the first go
Hi! The only discord servers I'm in are the accepted student ones so for obvious reasons I can't share them, but you can look the Sheridan Hopefuls 2022 group up on Facebook a little later in the year and there will probably be one made!

@@apollinares1938 ok last thing I want to ask how much we can take gap year to prepare our protfolio after high school and from where you learn animation for protfolio.
@@kartikproduction13 I mean, plenty of people take gap years! I haven't taken one myself, but a lot of my friends in the course didn't get in straight out of high school.
