Has anyone finalized the 6 page portfolios for Cambridge yet? I am not sure what the format should be, e.g. should each page be on one project only and have annotations or is it just plain images pasted onto an a4 sheet?

I have submitted an application for UCL and received an portfolio requirement due by the end of October which is quite unexpected. I thought it should be due by December or next Jan or Feb.

.

When my son applied for architecture a few years ago, unis gave him around three weeks to a month to submit his portfolio. UCL's request is quite normal.

I’m predicted AAA (3D Design, Politics, Psychology) with A* in EPQ and A in Core Maths. Currently planning to apply to UWE, UCL, UAL, Edinburgh and MSA.

I’ve always thought creatively, but I don’t feel I have a wide range of techniques to demonstrate in my portfolio, and I want to be prepared. I have a lot of architectural work to showcase, but I don’t want to include too much of this. Bashing out a beautiful painting isn’t an option, and I am a bit worried about being overlooked because of a slightly boring portfolio.

Any tips on what sort of things I could work on before applying to boost my outlook?

Thank you
