Second Time Applying-Old Work vs. New Work?

[imbeingdead]

Hello, everyone. This will be my second year applying to MFA programs. I'm currently in the process of updating my portfolio and was trying to figure out what percentage of it should contain new work vs. work I applied with last year. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

use whatever is your best work, that is all that matters.

If you're applying to different schools (and you should), just do as michaelwebster suggests. If you're applying to the same schools, I would recommend all new work (unless you had some indication that they really liked you before, but you just didn't quite make the cut).

For schools you have applied to before, they will want to see that you have made new work since applying last year, so it is a must that you include a good proportion of that in your portfolio. As far as arranging your portfolio, lead with your strongest work regardless of the chronology.
