RTA is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I never really expected how much it would impact my life. I mean, when I got accepted, I just about passed from my excitement, but I hadn't really thought about the overall picture. I think all of RTA 2015 can safely say Radio and Television Arts is more than just a program. It's a lifestyle. We are all family (including the professors and staff members) and we have all formed bonds that go outside of the classroom. Aside from sounding completely sappy, I don't have one negative thing to say about it, because honestly- it's helped me become such a better person. RTA has its own kind of people. It's hard to describe until you get here (it took me after reading week to fully understand it) but you will never meet a group quite like your classmates.

I had my Television Studio lab today. Fun can't even describe it.

Can't wait to meet you next year! I'm Dawsyn, by the way :)

Wow! That makes me even more excited! When I received my acceptance letter, I was so unfathomably ecstatic that I ended up crying. Your description makes me want to fast forward in time to meet all of you!
Thank you for commenting and providing us RTA hopefuls with inside information.
You all seem so nice.
I'm Victoria! ^^
And haha Matt i'm sure , it all sounds like a blast. :3

AHHH. I'm still waiting I really want to get in! It sounds like some of you guys have had some really good experiences !

I really really hope I get in and get to meet all of you guys next year! I did mine on the medium is the message and got most of my information from Marshall Mcluhan's son because he has a weekend house near my town! I also directed and produced a school wide lip dub with over 700 kids and started my own videography business in the summer of 2011 ! Hope I get in wish me luck !

I got my acceptance today! AHHHH I'm so happy

Hello beautiful froshies!

First of all I want to congratulate everyone who's gotten in. It's a tough program to get in to and it's really special so, give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done! To those who haven't gotten in yet, don't worry there's still plenty of time and there's still the waitlist. I know people who got in even when they were on the waitlist.

First year is really fun and exciting cause you get to learn about all the different things you can do in RTA. With that said, it is a lot of hard work. You have production classes, writing classes and lectures for RTA and also, you'll have your liberals and English classes. It's a lot of classes but, it also means you'll be spending time with the greatest people you will ever meet - your profs, staff members and of course, classmates! Seriously, RTA is a family. Everyone gets along really well and we spend our breaks playing nintendo or watching storage wars/whatever is on the A&E channel or family feud. We also have lots of get togethers at the Ram (ryerson pub) which you all are invited to!

I can't wait to meet you all in September!

Hey everyone! Just got in a few weeks ago! Excited to meet you all.




^80% I think.

I still never understand people that pick Jschool over RTA but I know usually kids just wanna run away from Toronto and go to Western :/ anyway...
I believe they don't "reject" but waitlist. RTA's waitlist is quite extensive yet very active, as you said, a lot of people choose to go to other schools /reject their offers(crazy folks.)


Hope you get in !
pm me if you don't hear anything after May.

Just another quick question; what if I'm in another program at Ryerson, and they let me know in September that there is a spot- do I just switch? Or does it get complicated? Any ideas?

I got wait listed today. Does anyone know what the chances are like of me getting accepted?

And I don't get how this works - I've accepted an offer to Arts and Contemporary Studies for next year, which means I'll be at Ryerson (thank goodness!). How will they tell me if I get a spot in RTA? I'm actually really worried. I'm trying to convince myself that it's a good think that I at least got wait listed!

Hello,
My name is Nike and I have just started my senior year at high school. RTA is my dream program and I cannot see me ending up anywhere else at the moment. My passion is music and audio production but I am also passionate about storytelling through film. Last year I got the chance to intern at a small Toronto recording studio and I currently volunteer at my church as the camera operator and switcher (weekly service, and occasional concerts). I have also just started volunteering at my local Rogers TV. Last year, I got the chance to take a Ryerson University Popular Culture course to get a taste of what Uni's like. (i passed). Finally, I have started the first ever Broadcasting Club at my school. I have wanted to be in RTA for over a year now, I am desperate to get in. i really am. What can I do from now till I apply?

Thanks
