@@MrPoopst hey there! I personally submitted a portfolio because I had a really strong body of work. But since UofT says that it's optional, if you don't think it makes your application better/you don't have good pieces to show for, then don't include them. With that said, it's ultimately up to your discretion. Hope that helped :)
Hey!! I’m applying for the fall 2022 admission and I really liked some of the sentences you used. Do you think it would be okay to use some of them or would that be counted as plagiarism entirely?? My story is completely different but some lines just fit with my ideas as well.
Thanks Mozie! Really happy you find these videos helpful. I'm using final cut pro btw, but if you're a beginner there are a lot of great (aka. free) alternatives out there like iMovie. That's actually a great video idea! I'll see what I can do :)
I'm also considering UofT to study for my master's and it's great I came across your channel! That "pwedeng magbola" got me ! are you also a Filipino? 😊
@@RayaKee OMG!!! that made me just excited! finally found a Filipino who's also taking Masters of Architecture - I'd love to connect with you If you don't mind! ♥
Erm actually I'm in undergrad rn and the program I'm in is Ryerson business tech management - I got accepted to UofT archi but didn't actually go through with it hahaa
@@RayaKee Ohh I see - yeah saw that video too that you discussed a different program and I was like I thought its Architecture. Anywho, still a good program and good luck to your University Journey ! :)
So I’m not sure if you will be able to answer this question, but I had to ask: 1) what exactly are the requirements for the portfolio? I couldn’t find anything specific on the website 2) I haven’t taken art in my A levels ( 12th grade) but I did take art in my GCSES (11th grade) where I scored a B.does that put me at a disadvantage? The British education system is quite different to Canadian/American so no worries if you can’t answer it! Thank you 💗
Hi Maria! So for the UofT portfolio, it's optional, so that might be why you haven't been able to find specifics on the website. Also, as for grades I believe UofT only looks at the average of your top 6 grade 12 marks, so as long as those top marks are good then you shouldn't need to worry about your lower grades. Hope that helps and good luck with uni applications :)
hi! i was thinking of choosing prompt 4. should i be talking about one story/experience specifically or give multiple examples of how i expressed my creative side? thanks!
Whatever you think encapsulates you best as a person and creative! Also keep in mind how many stories/examples you can go in depth with (could be 1, 2, etc.) given the word count.
Hey, I'm applying for the 2022 season, and I've submitted my application to the school, however, is the one idea supplementary application, supposed to go along with my application or afterwards?
If I remember correctly, you submit the supplementary application (portfolio/essay) around end of January after you apply to the school in November/December.
Glad you like the video Areeba! Here's an alternate link: drive.google.com/file/d/1TFqexo-TOde1tFR4ykATxOWPlMHe8ynF/view?usp=sharing Lmk if you can access it :)
Hi Raya, do we need an “essay title” - like “The failure that shaped me” for example - at the beginning or we just write an essay? Btw, what a sweet and helpful video! Many thanks
Hmm while the prompt from UofT doesn't explicitly say that you need to write a title, I'd say to put one in anyway just because it'll give the admission officers more context and (hopefully) give them an easier time understanding the topic and purpose of your essay. Hope this helped and good luck with applications!
Hey Raya, it's me again lol. I was wondering if you recommend using the word "you" in our One Idea essay? I'm thinking of just using the word once or twice. Thank you!! :)))
Using "you" and first person pronouns should be ok, bc the one idea questions are asking about YOUR experience/background/goals after all. Good luck on your applications Emily!
Really happy you liked the video Keily! No I didn't have to take an exam. I only did the optional online portfolio submissions and mandatory one idea essay.
Yeah I think you do! My average was around 89 and I was accepted fairly early. But I did also submit a portfolio - so that likely influenced my acceptance as well. Good luck on your application!
Heeyy, i am applying to universities for fall 2022. And right now writing the One idea essay. If it is not hard for you, or someone here, to just summarize the important questions i should ask myself and add to my essay. :) Thanks
Hello, Raya, this question is not about essay but for the image do you think it is okay to convert the photo that I took on my phone to picture by using app?
Hey Raya! How did you submit your portfolio pieces for UofT? Did you submit single images of your pieces or did you include your table of contents and title page?
Hello! So for UofT I chose to upload my top 6 favourite pieces from my Ryerson architecture portfolio (that video is somewhere on my channel) and no, I didn't include the table of contents or title page. Hope that helps and good luck with your portfolio!
Hello it'sme again hehe, it's true that to work as an architect in Canada it's necessary to have a master's degree in order to have an architect license?
Hehe glad to see you again :) Yes, to be an architect in Canada you need to have a master's degree. This is why (if you're dead set on being an architect) your undergrad will be super, super crucial to build your portfolio/skills for masters!
Hi Raya! I found your content extremely helpful (thank you!!!). I just have a question about the portfolio: I have a portfolio similar to the one you submitted for Ryerson (mine was accepted into Pratt Institute), and I didn't realize that you can submit images that are formatted like such. According to the requirements on the One Idea website, it says to submit single images and should not include text descriptions. I'm wondering if we had different requirements, but if not, can I really submit selected pages from my Pratt portfolio (because all the text inside are rly just a title, the size, and the medium)? A reply would be so helpful, thank you!
Hiii, thanks for ur generous sharing! I really want to book an one to one appointment with u to discuss my specific questions towards my application as I'm transferring and I have my ambition towards animation industry. But the link doesn't work, is there any other ways?
Hi! I'm not sure if you are still active on this account, but I was thinking of applying to the program this year. Was wondering on how you paid the fee for the One Idea Essay?
Not sure what you meant for the first question., but my essay was fine, so just copy that. For second question, I just wrote the date I completed the essay. Good luck on applications!
Hey, That Was A Really Great Video. Im An Architecture Student (India) n want to pursue my Masters Degree From UofT, Canada. Can you Please Help me know about whole Admission Process At This Is My Final Semester. Thank You. Waiting For Your Reply.
Hey there! Unfortunately I’m not sure how the Masters application works, but you can try to find the email of the program on UofT’s website and ask there :)
Hey I have a question about the application, I applied with my grade 11 report card I’m currently in grade 12 do I send them my final report card or my first term?
Hey Reya. I want to write about the content of me doing a specific thing in the One Idea Essay, however the specific thing is already mentioned in my application essay. Would it be a bad idea if i talk about the same content again but in One Idea essay. p.s. Im choosing the "express creativity" question and Im talking about designing a bulletin board with an unorthodox design
Hmm yes ideally pick something that's different, but as long as you write about something that's really thought provoking and "unorthodox" then you should be good. Hope that helps and good luck with your application!
Submitted my UofT archi portfolio and essay on Jan 3...been a month and now I'm waiting for an offer. What time of the month did you get an offer for UofT archi?
Yup! I took my 5 best pieces from my Ryerson portfolio. I actually made a video on that earlier. You can check that video out if you were curious on what those 5 pieces were!
@@RayaKee hey Raya thank you for documenting your journey! It's helping us a lot as our daughter is in the processing of creating her arch portfolio... we could not find the video re the 5 pieces you submitted to U of T... could you advise? thank you

Since option to submit a portfolio was optional for architectural studies. If i choose not to submit one, would that affect my submission?
