Columbia Optional Photograph

<p>So, I'm just curious about who's going to/who already has attached a photograph to their application?</p>

<p>I'm debating on whether to do it or not. I also have an urge to paint my face, wear sunglasses and do a pose, perhaps while standing on my friends' hands, take a picture, and use that as my photograph.</p>

<p>I did it. I don’t really know what is the purpose of those. I remember Swathmore took our picture during the visit program so they can match an application to a face, but I’m not sure how it works for large universities. My guess is that the adcom reading it will remember you from a college fair and it’ll help because you’ve demonstrated interest? </p>

<p>Beats me, in other words. By all means send!</p>

<p>Should the picture be a really clear one of your face? Or could I also insert a picture of my back, taking a picture of something else?</p>

<p>I just attached one of my senior pics. They just want to be able to match the app to a face.</p>
