UNIVERSITY COUNSELLING

SUMMARY

Our University Counselling program supports creative students through the entire college and post-secondary application process. From identifying the right programs to developing application materials and preparing portfolios, we help students present themselves with clarity and confidence. Each student receives individualized support tailored to their goals, strengths, and interests. Whether applying to art and design schools, film programs, or interdisciplinary institutions, we guide students through every step of the journey. The focus is on both admission success and long-term alignment with their creative and academic aspirations.

OVERVIEW

University Counselling at Young Guns Studio is designed specifically for students applying to art institutions. We begin by helping each student clarify their academic and career goals, then work together to identify schools, programs, and pathways that match their vision. Our team provides detailed support with every part of the application process, including personal statements, creative resumes, supplemental materials, and school-specific requirements.

We also offer hands-on assistance with portfolio development and presentation strategy, making sure that students not only meet deadlines but submit work that represents their full creative potential. Throughout the process, students learn how to communicate their values and ideas with authenticity and professionalism. Our approach is collaborative, supportive, and built around helping students navigate the application process with less stress and more purpose.

For many students, this is their first major academic transition. We aim to make that experience more empowering by helping them make informed decisions, prepare strong applications, and build confidence for what lies ahead.
