I had four pages of technical models in my portfolio for Cornell, and I got in last year…

Seriously, put whatever shows the most of your conceptual and creative abilities. Schools often dislike models and drawings because they are usually only an exercise in technical ability, and show nothing of one’s creative abilities. However, if you feel that your models express some creative aspect about how you think, than you should already feel the need to include them.

Pick the work that resonates the most with YOU as an individual, and let the schools see your work as a reflection of you instead of what they want to see (because I assure you they have far too much of that). If you are truly confident in your work, than it should be self-evident what you should and should not include in your own application, as that work is supposed to show what YOU can offer to the school of architecture.
