<p>Keshira, are you serious? guys are super jealous of each other.</p>
<p>girls are just cattier. Guys might get jealous, but they're a lot less likely to scorn one another.</p>
<p>To be honest, the only reason why I've gotten as far as I have in life is because of my looks. My first year of college was determined on my looks. My interviewer was a man that complimented me twice on my appearance. I know that was the deciding factor because I have such a horrible SAT score that I would not have been allowed in.</p>
<p>It's the same in the real world. I was hired at my job because of my looks and make the most money (commission sales) based on being beautiful (I make significantly more money than my coworkers). My interviewer was a woman so I don't think there is much of a gender bias. Women love beautiful women more than ugly ones.</p>
<p>It's rather depression because people no longer see me as a person.</p>
<p>wait, Izzy....going back a whole page.....13/14 years of age??!!! WTH? haha the vast majority are 17/18.</p>
<p>P.S. I'm a guy, and I've had 2 female interviewers under 30 so far ;) hehe</p>
<p>Looking at this from a psychological point of view, being more attractive would definitely help. There have been studies where attractive and less attractive people with the same qualifications have been interviewed for jobs. The participants wore hidden cameras throughout the interviews to record their interactions. Of course they found that the more attractive candidates were hired more often and they also found that the interviewer's gender didn't play a role. Men and women both preferred hiring attractive candidates than less attractive ones.</p>
<p>It really can't be helped. We are hardwired this way. We implicitly believe that what is beautiful is also good.</p>
<p>Well if looks didn't matter at all in college admissions, then why do some schools request their applicants to send a photo of themselves?</p>
<p>I know the majority of schools do not ask this, but for example, College of William and Mary and Columbia both state one can send an optional photo of oneself. I can't fathom what benefit a photo would do in the admission process other than to judge the physical attractiveness of the applicant.</p>
<p>oh nvm 4got this wasn't bs page</p>
<p>Ok...so with all this said, if a college candidate is very attractive, smart and has a great personality, I suppose visiting colleges that don't offer interviews is one way to "get your face out there" to help the process along? The reason I ask is that my nieces are both very beautiful girls who are average academically, very musically talanted, and have been accepted at some pretty good Tier 1 schools. I know their music has a lot to do with it, but certainly being hot has helped??</p>
<p>So if the school you are applying for does not accept on campus interviews, I guess a visit to display your hotness might be worth while if it is the college of your dreams?? LOL</p>
<p>haha, shopping. Display your hotness...
it could help, provided someone whwo has a hand in your admission sees it.</p>
