Make Portfolio Days More Productive

With more and more students attending Portfolio Days, it is becoming increasingly difficult to interact with more than a handful of potential applicants. Nothing can replace the effectiveness of meeting candidates in person - so our site is designed to make such meetings much more fruitful. Admissions officers and faculty who use HighSchoolPortfolios.com can identify students of interest and preview portfolios in advance of Portfolio Day events. HighSchoolPortfolios.com allows school representatives to contact any applicant or prospect directly. Our system ensures student privacy while providing a simple and secure method of arranging appointments and sending any student a personal message.

 
Easy Portfolio Review

Institutions that are members of HighSchoolPortfolios.com can also utilize its convenient portfolio submissions features. You will never have to manage and store bulky portfolio packages again. All on-line student portfolios are displayed clearly and feature enlarged images that forever eliminate slide projectors, loupes, and unreadable media. More importantly, all administrators and faculty can review submitted portfolios on his or her own schedule, in the office or from home. Access is gained via the internet through a password system.

Student portfolios are delivered to your institution's own dedicated Portfolio Drop Off Center and are organized in two groups - students who have sent applications to your school and students who are indicating interest in your program.

Portfolios, which can contain up to twenty images, will have the same uniform look and are easily navigated. With a click on any individual portfolio item, a pop-up window displays a large-frame image for closer viewing.

For ease of communication among program decision-makers, key personnel can also share comments about prospective students and will see a log that indicates which of their colleagues has viewed a student's material. Click here to see a sample portfolio.
