how can the admissions officer tell if a drawing was not actually drawn by you? and is just photo copied?
i just finished a nice drawing using only a straight edge (theres no indication from the college that i cant use a straight edge) and im afraid they might think its just photo copied... because the lines are perfectly straight...
so is there a way i can show its not plagerized?

Plagiarism is copying someone else's work (stealing), not photocopying your own. But I'm sure there will be no trouble determining your drawing to be original.
Can you not tell the difference between a drawn line and a photocopy of a drawn line? The graphite sits on top of the paper in the drawing. It does not in the photocopy. Same with pen, marker, etc. Anyone with experience and an eye for this stuff can just TELL by looking.
I'm sure the people who will evaluate your portfolio have seen perfectly straight lines before, as well.. Stop worrying.

If the tool used is appropriate for the drawing, no admissions officer will have a problem with it's inclusion in a portfolio.
Did you, somehow get the impression that "real " artists don't use a straight edge? You, at least, get some "attaboy" credits, from me, for not using the term "ruler" when "straight edge" IS the proper, technical term for the tool.
The way you show that a work is an original piece, by you, is to submit an original work.

Maybe he/she saw a drawing similar to the one you are submitting.
