In the 2025 admission season, GAAC has once again received exciting news! This year, our graduating student Jenny impressed the world with a portfolio full of exploration and personal expression, earning offers from 8 top global art and design schools—a true grand slam!

01

A Remarkable List of Offers

Jenny’s outstanding portfolio won recognition from some of the world’s most prestigious institutions:

Rhode Island School of Design (RISD)
New York University (NYU)
School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC)
School of Visual Arts (SVA)
California College of the Arts (CCA)
ArtCenter College of Design
Emily Carr University of Art + Design (ECUAD)
Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD)

Winning so many offers was not about “producing more works” or simply “painting beautifully.” What truly impressed these schools was Jenny’s ability to use art as a medium to express ideas, demonstrate critical thinking, and show consistent thematic logic and personal growth throughout her portfolio.

02

The Power of a Portfolio

Jenny’s portfolio demonstrated how art can serve as a language for self-expression and exploration. She focused not only on aesthetics but also on the meaning behind her works.
From choosing materials to building themes, from visual presentation to narrative coherence, Jenny gradually developed her own artistic voice.

It was this unique combination of exploration and personal expression that made her stand out and shine in the eyes of admissions officers.

Jenny’s Own Words

Reflecting on her years at GAAC, Jenny shared:

“During my time at Green Apple, my biggest takeaway wasn’t technical skills—it was being encouraged to express my ‘Why.’ My teachers constantly asked me: ‘Why are you making this piece?’ And through those questions, I gradually found my direction.”

This growth not only helped her secure multiple offers but also gave her confidence and clarity in her artistic journey.
