People applying to Cornell Architecture School?

Could someone perhaps direct me to what a “good portfolio” would look like for a high school student applying? I think I’m reasonably competitive with ECs and Academics, but the Portfolio section has me stumped. I have a year to work on it before I apply to Cornell Architecture. Currently I model architectural structures in Autodesk 3DStudio Max, Google Sketchup, and am working on accustoming myself to the Maya interface.

I’m confused on whether Cornell is looking for drawing/sketching ability, 3D modelling ability, digital modelling, a bit of everything or what?

This is a link to a structure I’d made a few months ago (I’m working on the interior at the base now…). Is it the kind of thing I’d include in a portfolio even though it’s a replica of a real structure rather than my own design?: http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/2387/b33v.png
