MFA Portfolio Tips

Iโ€™m applying to the MFA program (Fashion Collection + Communication) and I wanted to know what theyโ€™re mainly looking for when theyโ€™re reviewing the portfolio section.

Are they only interested to see the final work or should I also include the creative process (moodboard, design development, etc)

Any tips on this would be greatly appreciated!

Pratt Supplemental Essay help

Hello, the prompt for the supplemental this year is "Write about a piece of work (visual art, musical performance, piece of writing, architecture, or design) that has influenced you and describe the impact it has had on your perspective" I was wondering if video games can be included in that since I have one in mind that I could answer this with.

Is Pratt's Writing program speculative fiction friendly?

I'm curious to know if the writing program at Pratt has been helpful, or at least non-discouraging, to students who write speculative fiction.

I know a lot of universities and academics have typically had very strong opinions on fantasy/sci-fi and the like in creative writing courses, so I was curious to see what Pratt's general position on this is.

Help me design for my studio project thank you!!!!

Hi everyone, I'm an Industrial design student and my project is trying to design a navigation device for new hiking people. I don't want to design an app because people get into the woods are supposed to enjoy the view instead of typing in a cave. The problems I found for current products is their 3d version of mapping and lack of "time to go back" notifications unless you flip your device in your palm.

What do you all think about this idea? What do you find the most annoying carrying a navigation device around? And what feature would you focus on if you are redesigning such an item? This will help me a lot!

Mental Health Action Plan Survey! (need 150 responses)

Hello everyone!!!

I am participating in an internship and need 150 thoughtful responses to this survey: (https://mind-the-class-git-dev-mind-the-class.vercel.app/en/survey?key=d2903369-223f-4adf-9058-d5a20072b9dc)

WHAT IS IT? -ย This public health survey is designed to assess different areas of psychological health and identify protective factors that help prevent mental health issues. Once completed, the survey provides personalized "scores" for your Psychological Health and Protective Factors. Additionally, it generates aย MindArch Health Action Planย orย MAHAP (pronounced m-a-p) โ€” a tailored roadmap to maintain and improve your mental well-being.

WHY SHOULD I TAKE IT? -ย By participating in this survey, youโ€™ll gain valuable insights into your mental health and receive a personalized action plan based on your responses. Whether or not you currently face mental health challenges, taking this survey helps you be proactive in building psychological resilience and managing stress in your life.

Taking a few moments to reflect on your mental health can be a great investment in your overall well-being. The survey is open to anyone aged 12 and above, and I genuinely believe it could benefit everybody! :)

Thank you in advance if you decide to participate!ย (survey is all multiple choice and should take around 3-5 mins to complete)

I even made this super cool poster!

Best way to get BFA?

Iโ€™m 31 and starting over in life. Iโ€™ve always been passionate about interior design, but never pursued a career in it. Iโ€™ve decided I want to get my BFA and am looking at Pratt Institute. What is the best way to go about it? I have an associates and a bachelors in a completely different field. Should I apply as a first year student? Or do I transfer my Gen-Ed classes already completed? Should I get an Associates from a community college and transfer?

I would love to hear from anyone who applied, got accepted, or graduated from Pratt about your experience with applying and the degree program itself.

itโ€™s my senior year and I think I might have to take 6 classes/ 18 credits in the spring semester. I need 6 credits of gen ed liberal arts but I already have a big workload with my senior thesis - does anyone know any gen ed liberal arts classes that have a really light workload and are pretty easy?

Applying as an undergrad

So basically I'm planning on applying to the Pratt Institute, but I have quite a few questions as I cannot seem to find any information about them online. I am particularly interested in the Interior Design course. Does anybody know what are the deadlines for sending in all of the neccessary documents? And could any of the current students look at my current pieces of work and tell me if IN YOUR OPINION this portfolio is even worth a shot? I could send them via a private messege and would be really thankfull for some honest opinions.

Of course if there are any tips of ques you could give me I would be very thankful :3

Does Pratt Ever Has a Music Scene?

Hi reddit,

Currently writing a piece about how Pratt should provide its student musicians with practice rooms for the Prattler, and I was interested to know if Pratt ever has an active music scene on campus and how has the music scene in the past years come to the situation now. By "now," I mean how the Interfaith Commons, which was previously the Chapel, came to nearly ban music practicing out of noise concern.

One of my classmate, who is also a musician, who looked at my piece suggested it would be fun to find out how Pratt's music scene declined. Also reasons why the Chapel is renovated will be helpful.

I am also interested in what happens to the Music Club, which used to be at the Chapel.

Anything would be greatly appreciated!

Is transferring worth it

I see people always saying after CC they're going to transfer to a higher end university but with Pratt either way you're doing the 4 years so is it truly better to go to Pratt or just go with whatever college your CC has a contract with

Whats Illustration like ?

I'm planning on transferring to Illustration as my major but wanted to know what its like before jumping on that. I would like to become a concept artist or maybe storyboader? and was I wondering if illustration is the right program for that? or if animation is better and if so how is that major? I am a bit set on going for illustration cuz it feels like it'll have more opportunities since its seems more generalized than specifically animation.

can i use a tv show for the supplemental essay?

hi ! The prompt for a supplemental essay this year for applications is: โ€œWrite about a piece of work (visual art, musical performance, piece of writing, architecture, or design) that has influenced you and describe the impact it has had on your perspective OR write about a piece of your own work and the impact that creating it has had on you.โ€œ I chose to write about a piece of work that had influenced me, but the first that came to mind is a tv show. So, I was wondering if that counts as a visual art/writing or if I should stick to something more traditional?

I forgot to get a note saying that I was at a college tour

So I went on a college tour for pratt and I had been planning to do the tour for a few weeks before. It is a commute for me to go and visit so I let my professors know beforehand but one of them decided to make our exam on the day I was going to be gone. He understood that I wouldn't been there but asked that I get some kind of note or proof that I was at the tour to excuse my absence. Long story short I forgot to grab one at the end of the tour so is there a way to get one now? Or does anyone have a copy of what the note would look like so maybe I can try and do something with that. I need it by the end of the day so I'm freaking out a little lol
