Worried someone might have stolen my work?

I agree with the previous two replies. The chances of your work getting stolen is incredibly slim.

And, watermarks aren’t a good way of getting around that. They ruin the piece.

Next time you post your work online, don’t post print-quality images. Keep the images dimensions low and the resolution medium-high. This helps the image load faster when people want to look at it and it also ensures that they cannot download the highest quality image of the piece.
Then again, you could always wait and post your finished portfolio work later on after college application deadlines have passed.
Just post your other personal work or work-in-progress shots.

And, like bowman said, calm down. Your school doesn’t need to know about that.

Any good portfolio reviewer will be able to see technique and style consistency in your portfolio anyhow.
