50% of your Stamps admissions decision is based on your portfolio.

In this video, Stamps Recruiting Coordinator Juliana gives inside information on the kinds of work we like to see and tips on how to make your portfolio stand out.

Your portfolio should include:

• 12-15 pieces of your best and most recent work
• 2 design or direct observation drawings

Keep in mind:

• Emphasize experimentation, concept, and a range of media
• Include class assignments and self-directed work
• Answer the question, “Why did I create this?” for each work's description
• Your application will be considered complete only after you have submitted your portfolio.
