Admissions counselors meet with prospective students during on-campus or virtual meetings. Undergraduate students may also opt-in to a portfolio review, 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 in March.
What should you bring to a portfolio review? When meeting with one of our undergraduate 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.
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.Read about Pratt’s portfolio requirements.
