You are definitely a good candidate for the program, but I think you need more traditional artwork in your portfolio. I was accepted into Cornell’s architecture program a few weeks ago, and I think my portfolio was what ultimately got me in. I had zero sketch-up/architectural related sketches… I did have still lifes, portraits, perspective drawings, landscapes, abstract paintings, etc. I think Cornell wants to see how you think (visually, spatially, conceptually) more than how skilled you already are at modeling and rendering on the computer. So although your portfolio definitely shows passion and dedication, I think you would definitely benefit from having more traditional artwork.
