Do I even have a chance?

@Turbo,

Thank you for the quick answer. If you could elaborate on your response a bit more, I have a few questions.

Many of the websites of architectural schools that I looked at had a portfolio requirement of 12-24 pieces. Most of them asked for personal drawings, 3D modeling, and some of them asked for samples of photography. If schools don’t want to see portfolios heavy on drawings, or models, then what do they want to see in a portfolio?

You said that classroom schoolwork wasn’t a great thing to have in a portfolio. Should I mostly include the work that I make on my own then? Are there certain types of pieces to make or avoid?

If, instead of a portfolio, you took a test for admission, what kind of material would be on the test?

Once again, thank you for your reply. If Turbo, or anyone else, could answer my questions then I would be very grateful.
