I hope you will be applying to various grad programs. Don’t overthink the portfolio-- just choose (sometimes at an intuitive level rather than with a “thinking level”). I can tell you that I regret not applying to grad school earlier. I graduated and then got married, had babies and finally, when I was 31 yrs. old, I went to grad school and earned my MS. Everything turned out ok, but it was HARD to take those 2.5 years while also working, and also raising two children. I was often up until 3:00 a.m. and felt very stressed out at times. I remember saying to myself that I WISH I had just gone straight to grad school before having to be out in the working world, but particularly before I had a family.

Hope you are hard at work on getting those applications done this weekend! Just do it!
