We do not provide portfolio reviews for graduate students or applicants interested in the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences (Writing, Critical and Visual Studies, BA in History of Art and Design). Construction Management does not require a portfolio. Please note that all portfolio reviews are for feedback and guidance only. They do not constitute a formal official review for admission and are not required.
Portfolio Review And Counselor Meeting Options:
1. In-Person or Virtual Meetings and Portfolio Reviews: Admissions counselors meet with prospective students during on-campus or virtual meetings/portfolio reviews which are offered Monday through Friday from April 1 to November 15. Counselors will also meet with admitted students who may have questions about attending Pratt beginning March.
You can connect directly with a counselor or complete one of the following forms to meet in-person in the Admissions office or virtually via Zoom.
2. National Portfolio Days: Another way to have your work reviewed is to attend one of the National Portfolio Days in your area. Appointments are not necessary. Both in person and virtual options are available.
What should you bring to a portfolio review? When meeting with one of our admissions counselors for a portfolio review, please bring no more than 10 – 15 original pieces of your most recent work in 2-D or 3-D formats as well as sketchbook material, if you have it. Please note that all portfolio reviews are for feedback and guidance only. They do not constitute a formal official review for admission. If you are unable to bring original work, we are happy to view work on your iPad or laptop.
