Review sessions are conducted like speed dating. This format maximizes the number of reviewers you meet with during your assigned review session.

Be prepared to present your portfolio and receive feedback within this time constraint, and please tailor the discussion to get the feedback on pieces you want to dive into.

Professional attire, appropriate for an interview, is recommended.
