<p>like something that represents you, like a musical instrument, or just like your face or what?</p>
<p>SassafrasRoots, just chill out about the application, don't try too hard to be something, because you might end up as something you're not. Don't ask too many questions about what Columbia wants, because you want them to take you for who you are, not who you are on five sheets of paper.</p>
<p>Anyway, Adcoms are pretty smart, they don't need you to pose next to your piano to know you love piano. Just take a normal picture, I just used one of me sitting on my stairs.</p>
<p>i just used my senior portrait because it's the first thing i saw on my desktop...honestly, don't overthink this.</p>
<p>ahaha yeah i think i am definitely overthinking everything... it is like the most abstract application i've done, though... i've never encountered any other schools asking for a photo or fav. magazines</p>
<p>too late, mine is of me sticking my hand into a dead pig</p>
<p>Can I take one without my shirt flexing because my body is undeniably sexy?</p>
<p>i think i shall either post a pic of me doing the popular double thumbs-up or an extremely unphotogenic one of me lying passed out on the floor. </p>
<p>probably teh second one.</p>
<p>put an empty beer bottle next to you xP they'd really love that</p>
<p>j/k</p>
<p>you know, I totally considered doing the double thumbs up while wearing my "Talk Nerdy to Me" shirt.. but at the last moment I got lazy and just decided to send them a regular picture I already had :D</p>
<p>wait, are we able to just mail them a photograph picture?</p>
<p>would they just add it to our files?</p>
<p>You can attach it to the online Application</p>
<p>I had one all converted into right size and format and everything, and made my friend have a look at it, just to give the app the all clear and she said it didnt look like it was far off being a playboy shot.</p>
<p>apparently there was a touch too much cleavage in it, and it was 'distracting' So, I decided not to send in a picture.</p>
<p>are you kidding? We needs girls like you :)</p>

</p>
<p>And how is this a bad thing?</p>
<p>ladies...you need to understand that there is never "too much cleavage". Its impossible.</p>
<p>i took my photo in front of my mirro, and that photo i sent depicts me and the camera i was holding.</p>
<p>Well I don't want it to be a case of... 'oh look there is a face in that picture too' which it kinda is at the moment, becuase (completely unintentionally) you are sort of drawn towads, uhum.</p>
<p>Also, it was at my birthday supper so there is a glass of champagne infront ofme(which i have sorta cut out) but I look a little bit drunk too.</p>
<p>In the end I just didn't send one, i havent been to the campus so is not as if they are going to recognise me (unless they read playboy, of course ;))</p>
<p>i sent a picture of me i took from a webcam .... and its a pretty serious photo, like im about to kill the admissions officer or something (just with my looks ...)</p>

<p>its a college application not myspace</p>
<p>I was all ready with ideas for photoshoots of me and my most beloved belongings but at the last minute I got lazy and attached some random picture that looked pretty crappy in the PDF instead.</p>
