College Admissions

I wanted to do a post when I found out what programs I got accepted into but I should have known that was gonna take awhile and done a post in between.

This is the month (March-April) of College...and maybe University I don't know...acceptances! The time you find out whether you got into your dream school and ready to start that new chapter in your life. Well for me it really wasn't gonna be a new chapter cause I've already been to college and graduated but attending Sheridan was going to be a new chapter because taking the Computer Animation program there was really going be a game changer.

These are the programs I applied for:

I applied to Sheridan twice for their Computer Animation program, which obviously, was my first choice and I also applied for their Bachelor of Photography honestly for just kicks and see if I was good enough and because my teacher told me too.

I also applied to Humber College twice for their Creative Photography program but I didn't attend the assessment because I realized if in some crazy world I really did want to get into photography, Humber is not where I wanted to go and the campus is in Brampton....no. I also applied for their 3D Modelling and Visual Effects course because they had one and for kicks.

I also applied to Seneca for their Photography program (I know a lot of photography for someone who doesn't want to do that) but I haven't finished my portfolio for that. I just need three more pieces, pieces I have never done before (2 still life and 1 creative portrait).

And that's it.

I have gotten my final results today of what I got into that I have completed all the assessments for and here it is:

I got into Humber for their 3D Modeling and Visual Effects but here's the thing, they don't take OSAP and the program is over $8,000. I do not have that kind of money so this program is out of the question...

I got into Sheridan's Bachelor of Photography program, I honestly was not expecting that at all. I screamed cause I so surprised and couldn't believe it. Also because it was kind my backup plan so it was a so far so good moment.

And now for Sheridan's Computer Animation
...I did not get in. 

What I got was "Refused due to portfolio score." I just found this out and am even crying while I type this. I tried so hard. I asked for people to look over my work, I asked for help, I got proof read for my statement of intent and double-tripled checked my work. I prayed and even had other people praying for me. I submitted the best I had in animation, modelling, set model, drawings, work I've done in this program, etc. I even asked the program advisor to look over my work if I was on the right track and he refused telling me to submit not what I think they want to see but to submit my best work and I did that expect for one animation which was my last project at Durham, I finished it but I couldn't render it cause Wade (my laptop) couldn't do it and no computer on campus had Maya so I couldn't add it in. Now I feel if I could have I would have got in and it angers me so much. 

I do not know what more I could have done and now I just don't know what to do. I have never felt so lost. This was suppose to be my chance, this was suppose to kick start me to where I want to go. As much as photography was my backup plan I never truly considered doing it cause I put all my money, soul, passion, everything into getting into that program. I use to sit outside the class room doors every Friday working on the portfolio because that was my end goal, that's where I wanted to end up.

Now I feel like, why am I here? Now that I know these results why am I still here? Why even bother finishing? Why bothering going to class? There's no point. What was this program really doing for me anyways but bring me stress? This whole situation has been bring me nothing but stress. I know there's other schools that have animation program (I've went to durham and got into Vancouver but you can read my past posts about those) but Sheridan was suppose to be the one.

I really don't know what to do at this point so I've upload my Computer Animation Portfolio down at the bottom for you guys to take a look and I'm gonna go and figure out life.
