Portfolio for cornell-architecture

<p>Hi! I’m from another country, so I’m completely new to all this application process and I really need help.</p>

<p>I did a lot of research and I fell in love with Cornell University at first sight; I really want to go there and I have been working like crazy in order to get in.</p>

<p>I have good grades (3.98 gpa), I am a honors student, member of the AIAS Fort Lauderdale (and part of the board), I took the SAT, the TOEFL, and I'm a member of the Phi Theta Kappa (the International Honor Society of the Two Year College). But I’m still really scared that maybe all of that is not going to be enough.</p>

<p>I'm about to complete my first two years of architecture in a college in Florida, but I’m a little bit confuse about the portfolio requirements (and I know that a bad portfolio can destroy your application), it says in the website that they don’t want slides, but high quality photos and reproductions of the original work. </p>

<p>Does that mean that I just have to put really big photos with a small description instead of design the portfolio so it looks "magazine like"?</p>

<p>Also, they say that we should put like 15-20 item, but its and entire project considered one item? (I have like 5 big projects that I did for my design classes, and each of them include site analysis, sections, floor plans, perspectives, diagrams, sketches, etc)</p>

<p>I really appreciate if someone can give me any information!!!!</p>

<p>Don't send architecture work lol. Really... I wouldn't advise that.</p>
