<p>Hey guys,
I'm trying to apply to the Architecture program, and I've looked at a lot of the stats threads here, but there haven't been many threads on international students, specifically Canadians.

<p>My portfolio is mostly observational drawings, all freehand, but there's not much stuff out of my head. Technique-wise for the drawings I feel solid, but will the lack of creative work hurt me?</p>
<p>As well, I will be applying for FA, and they are not need blind for internationals...</p>
<p>I'd really really appreciate it if you guys could tell me what my chances are, what I need to do now, where I can improve, etc.</p>
<p>Thanks so much in advance!!</p>
