Well you should know NCAD quite well so.....could ya PM me a bit about the college. ThanksJust read through all this and wanted to say congrats to all of you who got into NCAD (and other courses, of course).
Didn't know they had a brief now? Jesus, I couldn't have dealt with that. I'm going into second year in October having done Core twice (I'm lazy, make sure the same thing doesn't happen to you, it's hell on earth to do twice.)
But yeah, good luck to all of you starting in October. It'll be a shock to the system but you'll all get used to it. Enjoy (:

With that attitude you won't go very far, they don't like cockey people....Just to let everyone know, don't get your hopes up over NCAD. I'm doing a portfolio and I'll get in, but I'm just tellin you they require such a high standard
Don't listen to this guys, biggest failure is not trying in the first place0 -

...Wow, hope I never meet you there.
Wrong attitude for NCAD, buddy.
You're going to get a major shock if you do get in, people don't dig people who have the same holier than thou attitude you seem to have.
Who are you to tell people that you're basically going to get in for sure and others aren't? The cheek.Excuse me, but you haven't seen the standard of my work? I've been told by many people that my work is amazing and I'll get into NCAD (not being big-headed, just telling you what people say about my work), and I am confident that with the work, I'll get into NCAD. I'm just telling a lot of people they probably won't get in themselves, as they only take in the best. But try anyway. xxxx
Oh yeah? Bung some up there and be open to critique so? I'm sure you're a talented artist, but it's not only about the standard of your work, your ideas are very much important. It's nice that you're confident but god, being confident and telling others they won't get in when you will is so different. And one last thing. Not everyone in NCAD is 'the best', you will see people and wonder why they're there. But they all got in for a reason and it's not for you to judge. Jesus Christ.

Why the negative attitude? I just said I am talented and I will get in. I'm just warning people that don't be suprised if they don't get in. I cant upload any of my work because I have no scanner and my camera got robbed the other day.
Fact is, you MUST have confidence in your work, and I have a fair bit. I hope everyone who applies gets in, but the truth is they won't because NCAD are so exclusive.
That's just it. I have no issue whatsoever with your belief in yourself that your talented. I think it's great that you're confident in your work. I wish more of us were like that, I myself don't usually like what I do but the odd piece I like for a bit before finding flaws. The majority of my mates in NCAD are the same, so I don't have a problem with you believing in your talent, that in itself is great. Congrats.
I do however, have a problem with the fact that you think it's your place to WARN other people that they probably won't get in and then to go around saying you're going to get in for sure. Could be a shock to the system there sweetheart, if you possibly do not get in (wouldn't wish that on anyone, so don't think I'm saying I hope you won't). I've known some amazing people who have not gotten in for whatever reason the tutors who assess the portfolios have come up with.
I just think you need to tone down on the 'LOOK AT ME, I'M AMAZING, BUT SORRY GUYS, I'LL GET IN BUT YOU MIGHT NOT BECAUSE IT'S DIFFICULT' attitude. It's not going to get you far and certainly not going to make you friends if you do get into NCAD. That sh*t doesn't fly

Thank you for telling me how I'm meant to act. I thought I was perhaps doing a helpful thing by warning people of the exclusiveness of NCAD. But the fact is, I have put in the work, and I'm sure if someone has the same talent and WORK ETHIC as me, they'll have no problem getting into NCAD.
And tbh I actually think I'll go down well in NCAD. I have a friend in NCAD and he says that they'll love me so ... x0 -

...Right, you're clearly not willing to listen to anyone. I've looked at your other posts, and other people have called you on being hostile, rude and condescending. Never once did I tell you how to act. Myself and other people suggested you tone down the attitude.
Your post wasn't helpful in the least. It was basically you saying you were in for sure (when your portfolio isn't even going to be assessed until NEXT YEAR) and telling other people that unless they had your 'amazing' talent, they're not getting in. Also, the whole NCAD being exclusive thing is utter bull. Yes, it has a reputation, it has churned out many people who have done well in life and are good at whatever area they're into, but it's not EXCLUSIVE. God. It's a college. It's not some sort of VIP club. People with varying degrees of raw talent get in, but it's ideas that seal the deal. (Good luck with your fruits, we all know they love to see that)
If you think you'd go down well in ANY college with that attitude, good luck. And if your friend in NCAD says people will love you, then you must be really different off the forums.
