You then need to go back through all the images you've shot - probably starting with your 'Besties' from each of the projects/units and save your best images in sets of 2,4 or 6 in the portfolio folder. At this stage save everything and anything that is good, aim to have a variety of different images - pinhole, film shots, 10x8 work, the recent tape transfers, cyanotypes anything experimental - Universities and photographers love to see this type of work as it shows you're genuinely interested in photography and learning. You'll be competing for places and jobs with people that go to colleges that don't teach the same variety and having a variety of experimental and digital approaches might give you the edge in an interview situation.
This same PPT will also include information and research into Universities and employment options and potentially record your process of decision making in relation to your progression goals.
