<p>Did anybody upload a photo when filling out Columbia's application forms? I just can not figure out why...</p>
<p>To me, it seems like it humanizes the application. Gives adcoms a face to connect to it and such.</p>
<p>yea I did, to show them my humorous side</p>
<p>I'm wondering if anyone has ever sent a picture of someone else, like people do on those dating sites.</p>
<p>i charge 20$ if u wanna use mine... im a ny underwear model</p>
<p>They do it to weed out ugly people. Obviously.</p>
<p>I can't believe how many people have posted about the picture. </p>
<p>Soap is right, it's to weed out ugly people. Sorry.</p>
<p>thats simply not true.... CU is full of ugly students.... somehow when you have aesthetic appeal, you lack substance inside? they just want to make sure youre not downright ****ing grotesque</p>
<p>"somehow when you have aesthetic appeal, you lack substance inside"</p>
<p>that is wrong on so many levels.
not every smart persons a geek, you know.
many people take pride in their appearance on top of their personality and intelligence.</p>

<p>I want to see this underwear picture of you.</p>
<p>Sarcasm is dependent on tone, which unfortunately doesn't convert to text very well. Try the [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tags if you're feeling extra geeky.</p>
<p>I think I'm just a strong believer in the human mind. Because when I read aCTyankee's post I just thought "Oh he can't be THAT stupid so it must be sarcasm."</p>
<p>That's how I measure internet sarcasm and jokes, if it is too stupid I would rather think of the person as a jokster than a total and complete dumb ass.</p>
<p>thank u luke. thats exactly how it was meant to be interpreted. you would think ppl could decipher sarcasm/other emotions better now that we're in the age of txt... guess some just got their first cell phone for christmas?</p>
<p>Perhaps you don't convey sarcasm very well.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, it also goes the other way. If I can't judge based on tone, then I'm going to have to judge based on how stupid/mean/polemic I think that person is and whether they are stupid/mean/polemic enough to actually mean what they wrote. It'd be nice to give people the benefit of the doubt but sometimes, I just really think that they are "a total and complete dumb ass."</p>
