It was my understanding that at Northwest, like most universities, you do not need a portfolio to get accepted into the lower division undergraduate photography courses. If that is the case, then it is my suggestion to you that you at least get a feeling from the professors what they are looking for, and at least through the intro to photography course, find out how they critque work. Also it is perfectly acceptable to introduce yourself to the dean of the department as a student who is interested in photography, and would like to know more about how the portfolio reviews are conducted, and what it is they are looking for. With most University departments this is a key factor, get to know the professors, let them know who you are, unless your portfolio is seamless in its content and presentation, just don't blindly submit.

A standard art portfolio is a good way to go. Remember that it doesn't have to be big to make a big impression. My best portfolio in the last decade was my smallest one (in dimension and number of pictures). Choose only your absolute best and nothing else. Above all, make it look professional! You're selling your reliability as much as your work.
