Anyone over here applying for MFA in GD?

Im new to this forum. Got here due to doing lots and lots of research on how to present my portfolio on slideroom for grad school. Im highly interested in YALE/RISD. Most want 20-25 slides. Im sooo confused and need the help of anyone who knows what these schools want to see. 1) How can I show one project using only one page? or do i show multiple photos of one project in a grid like template all in one slide? or do I use say 3-5 slides out of the 20 slides to show one project, thus overall showing only 5-6 projects in the portfolio? 2) I have a lot of crafty projects that basically reflect myself and I have many other projects that are just personal identities/website designs for companies/products where i made business cards, logos, stationary and reports..do i add these too? 3) Do I add different fields of graphic design in my portfolio or just concentrate on one field? 4) Do these schools want to see me present my work on the slides all with one themed template or it doesn't matter? which would be better?
