How would a portfolio help me gain admission to ND when they look at the applicant pool as a whole and don’t break the pool up by intended majors? I spoke with an admissions person from ND and she downplayed the portfolio’s significance in the admission decision, instead she talked about “classes it could get me out of.” I know that at schools like CMU &co the optional portfolio plays a significant role in the admission decision (50% of the decision according their admission rep). So I was wondering if anyone here had any insight concerning the importance of a portfolio in the ND admission process.
