<p>For a lot of architecture schools, as you can probably imagine, the portfolio really does it more than the ECs.</p>
<p>For example, the informational session lady at cornell described AAP architecture admissions like this: they give you a 1-5 ranking based on your SAT and other test scores and GPA and that ranking determines how many times they look at your pfolio. In the end, the portfolio always makes the final decision. You should really be asking for portfolios AND “stats”. </p>
<p>As for me, I have no idea of any portfolios or stats because I’m still waiting… So useful, I know.</p>
