I've heard a lot of conflicting information too but I wouldn't worry about it too much!

Hello Scrii and HedgehogPoop,

This is a message directed to all international students applying: I was able to speak with a good friend of mine who is currently taking fundies at Sheridan the other day. He told me that he also spoke with one of the admission coordinators and was able to find out that there is indeed NO LIMIT on the amount of international students that can enter the program out of the 150 seats available. Really, all it comes down to is, if you score high enough, then you'll get in. However, I think it's worth mentioning that my friend was also told that the 25 international students myth basically comes from the fact that ON AVERAGE, usually around 25 international students will get in every year.

Again, all this info is just from word of mouth, so there is no specific source.

Hey Everyone,

Portfolios are looking great! I've put mine up on my tumblr (had to split it up into 3 posts) to add to the fun.

Would love some feedback if anyone's got the time. This page has been super helpful over the course of putting this together so would just like to thank anyone that gave me constructive criticism and pointed out any glaring errors that I somehow missed

Congrats on finishing your portfolio guys!!
I was wondering if it says "item outstanding" under animation portfolio (in the student portal/addtion requirements) for anyone else?
I dropped mine off yesterday btw

Hey chownyp.
I absolutely love your barbershop personal piece, its very nicely rendered!
as for crit(since you asked), I'd say over all everything looks good. With the life drawings I'd highly suggest checking out micheal hampton's "figure drawing design and invention" it was a total game changer for me, as well as the "weatherly guide to animal drawing" for the animals (if you already haven't)

Thanks for the kind words EllieMorlin, your life drawings are awesome and full of life.

And thanks sarahelizaball, that barbershop piece took me forever (it's actually 200cm x 130cm so was a pretty massive undertaking) so it's good to hear you like it! I'll check out those books as well, they look great from what I've seen of them.

Hey guys! I was just wondering if anyone knows around what time our scores get released? My guess is maybe in 2 weeks but if anyone has any official info that would be great!

Hey! For the past 2 years its been about 1 month after the last portfolio review day when results are relesased. But the review days were pushed back a week this year, so im not sure!!

**VanessaFardoe** · March 8th, 2015

I have seen many of your portfolios on tumble. Ive seen many great pieces.

Conceptart.org is really slow and not so good with mobile devices. Would anyone be interested if I made a 2015 FB group? It world be nice to be able to support each other and get to know other hopefuls in one place. Let me know if any of you are interested.

Also here's my animation portfolio I sent in January.

I think last year was the last week of March to the first week of April.

As for the FB page, I'd be happy to make the page, it just requires me to have at least one member (besides myself) to start a group page. Anyone wanna friend me on FB?

**PradyumanRathod1** · March 8th, 2015

A fb page sounds awesome! Count me in i can send you friend request.

SAH2015- Sheridan Animation Hopefuls 2015!

**Junsu Kim** · April 1st, 2015

I can't thank you enough for it. It was so awesome !
Um.. I have some questions. I am studying at a University in USA where is Texas A&M university. (Now I am Freshman, next semester (Fall) I will be Sophomore ) But I wanna transfer to Sheridan college, so I am preparing portfolio requirements ( BFA Animation ) If I transfer to Sheridan, what is the minimum GPA requirement? about 3.0 - 3.2 ? Actually, I am not good in my GPA so.. I am a little bit worried. If I get 2.8 - 3.0, is it possible to transfer Sheridan ? Also If I successfully completed 1 year of a Degree Program in the USA, am I exempted from TOEFL or IELTS ?

**wrongfeifong** · May 6th, 2015

I am more interest on what opportunities you end with after graduate from This program. I know a guy in a my business analyst class who completed this program he end up in IT doing application. But i am not young anymore to go try this program even I regret what i took so far.

**ChandraRallabhandi** · July 23rd, 2015

Hi guys

I'm planning to get into the Computer Animation program (Jan 2016)
So, the same portfolio requirements works for this program too?

**ChrisDavy** · September 3rd, 2015

Hey! don't know if this thread is still active or if its going to continue for the upcoming year, but I'm planning on handing in my portfolio in a couple months and wanted to know if I could get any advice on it.

**aera** · September 9th, 2015

Hi, I was actually wondering if there will be a thread/group for 2016 hopefuls? Good luck all!

**Shedika** · December 4th, 2016

Hello, I'm interested in attending Sheridan in fall 2018. I meet the basic requirements where high school is concerned, however I spent a year and a half at a post secondary institution but didn't do so well academically. I stopped going to that school in 2014. I know I can't leave off the university in my application even though the grades are terrible. I was hoping that my portfolio would be good enough to overshadow that fact. My question is do they only ask for your portfolio IF your GPA meets the requirement? Or do they ask for it after you apply which means there would be hope for people like me?
