My daughter is a first year architecture major at UC Berkeley (went for the BA rather than B.Arch). She had a strong portfolio—but many schools didn’t ask for one (including Cal Poly SLO—one of the top program in the US).
If you’re looking for portfolio feedback, check out Drexel University’s free portfolio review sessions. My daughter did 2 on Zoom last year and it really helped her. The professor recommend a variety of pieces—including architecture designs and 3-D models, fashion, screen printing, drawing, painting, etc… He specifically mentioned showing a breath of hand created and digital pieces. FWIW—she got into every program she applied for. (Except WL at UW)
