News from Jackie - Current senior at U. of PENN, Master of Architecture Program
Getting into architecture school is not always (in fact, rarely) about how good you are as an *architectural* designer. One of the things that my instructors and professors at Penn have told me about the admissions process is that it’s about the kinds of potential that they see in the portfolios of applicants. Just because an applicant has a large array of architecture projects doesn’t mean he/she will get in. I have seen a number of portfolios from my classmates, and most of them are non-architectural designs in majority - sculpture, drawings, graphic design, etc. are all welcome. It seems to be that they are looking for students to have an eye for space, composition, and of course, general visual aesthetics.
