<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm wondering if somebody can give me some input on whether it would be acceptable to include a picture of something I built. The reason being that I explain the architecture and building process in my essay, and it would really help if I had some visual aid.</p>
<p>How uncommon is this? Would they look down on it?</p>
<p>Thanks!

<p>My personal opinion is that it’s ok because i heard some ppl used different ways to present their ideas in the essay. But since it’s called ESSAY, I think you should focus on the writing part,your idea,and yes, use the diagrams as a tool to impress the committee with the logic behind your choice.Like a math student made some statements in column and prove whether they were true or false. I think they would not look down it, and if you still worry abt it ,you can put it into the additional info.</p>
<p>Thanks for the prompt reply. :)</p>
<p>I’ve put in the picture. (Into my Common App essay.)</p>
