<p>coz i went to the portfolio review day yesterday and both of them, Pratt Institute and Pratt MWP were located in the same room. Pratt MWP was vacant and i was next in line, i thought that was also Pratt Institute, but as soon as i arrived there i realized that they are different since the application that i signed to was for Pratt Institute and they let me sign another application that was for Pratt MWP. I couldn't back out since it's kinda embarrassing coz i'm already there. They told me that they are also Pratt, and that they handle freshmen and sophomores and then after that, you can transfer to Pratt in Brooklyn. </p>
<p>I'm really confused coz i'm planning to apply to Pratt in Brooklyn, but then, since my review was for Pratt MWP. Does that mean that i have to send in a portfolio for Pratt Institute since my reviewer was not from that school.</p>
<p>Please if somebody can explain to me the process. Thanks</p>
<p>If your review was conducted at a National Portfolio day event, then it didn't count as your portfolio review for admission to either Pratt campus.</p>
<p>You will still have to go through the formal portfolio review process with submission in the required format to the actual school that you wish to attend.</p>
<p>hmmmm my portfolio was accpeted at a portfolio day.... it IS possible. they don't completely accept you unless you're a senior though and your work is outstanding.</p>
<p>i highly suggest going to pratt MWP for two years instead of going to pratt first off. it's less money, better overall education, and the community is amazing.</p>
<p>if you become a pratt mwp student, you are automatically also a pratt brooklyn student and will transfer there after 2 years or 1 year at pratt mwp. however, if you want to go to pratt brooklyn for freshmen year, you have to apply to it seperately from pratt.</p>
<p>^ ow really?? thanks.. i'm applying as a transfer student. i just received a letter two days ago from Pratt MWP, and they accepted my portfolio as a visual requirement for my application. They said that based on my portfolio, i could get up to $7,000 worth of scholarship excluding the federal ones. I'm still debating coz it's upstate New York, and i'm not fond of really cold weather.</p>
<p>I just went to portfolio day at Pratt and really liked the Pratt MWP people.
BUT…if you apply there - does anyone consider it “second best” to Pratt, Brooklyn?
It just felt like they were begging me to come to Utica.</p>
<p>It is the same school only better! The best part of a Pratt education is their smaller 10 year old campus in Utica NY called Prattmwp, few know about it and it is very hard to get into as I think they only accept 90-95 students a year Pratt Brooklyn in huge over 4000 students. So this opinion about it is either sour grapes or someone totally misinformed. ( and it is certainly from someone who does not know much about portfolio day! )</p>
<p>From what I understand, Pratt MWP is a two-year college, granting you an associate’s degree after two years. Upon earning the degree there, you are automatically granted entry to Pratt in Brooklyn for the next two years (without going through the admissions process all over again), ultimately earning a BFA. Most four-year schools are somewhat more competitive for admission, but I cannot speak specifically about these two campuses. Pratt in Brooklyn does not officially accept portfolios at NPDs, although you can get a very strong sense if you are on the right track. My D’s portfolio was reviewed on campus and at a NPD, and both times she was told she is ready to apply. She was ultimately accepted into the BFA program. When you apply to Pratt in Brooklyn, you will submit your portfolio via a website called Slideroom (they give you instructions).</p>
<p>A quick note: Be care, having a portfolio “accepted” at NPD does not mean that you don’t have to still submit the portfolio as part of the application process. As far as I know and at all the schools I’m aware of even if they “accept” your portfolio you still must submit a CD or to slideroom when applying. I’m not certain, it’s possible some don’t require submission but they would require submission in order to be considered for scholarships and grants. And you don’t want to knock yourself out of that opportunity, if you consider it, how can they judge your work for grants if they dont’ have images. Perhaps there’s an exception I’m not aware of but I wouldn’t take the gamble unless I was totally certain, just send the portfolio in again anyway to be safe.</p>
