international student's ACCEPTED art portfolio + tips! (MICA/CCA/Emily Carr)

hey guys, hope you're doing well :)
this is my first video so i apologize for the choppiness.
during this stressful time of college apps, i hope this video can bring some comfort to you. as obvious as some of these tips are, these are what i wish someone had told me during my application process! my art is not as technical as other people posting their portfolio videos so hopefully it can help you still??? idk
thanks for watching and have a wonderful rest of your day!
