If a girl is incredibly gorgeous, and sends pic with app...

Applying to College

<p>Personally, if I saw a hot girl with great scores and great grades, I'd be like "Whoa. She's perfect. She's in." But I'm just a guy :|</p>

<p>watch legally blonde. she sends in a video of herself in a bikini and gets into harvard law. i would say send in your senior pic or something like that. if you play a sport, send in a pic of you doing what you do. you dont really need to send in a pic anyway because colleges can look at your myspace and facebook so they see you drinking ;)</p>

<p>certain spec programs require pictures, like miami's hpme pgrm.</p>

<p>i dont think that if a person deserves to go to the school by their academic and ec (and well roundedness) achievments that a picture would actually make the committee say 'heyyyy just kidding shes tooooooo hot'</p>

<p>just my opinion.</p>

44

<p>If I were to send in a picture with one of my apps, it would probably be some creative, profesional-looking self-portrait, maybe including some things (hobbies) in the background. But then again, I'm into photography..</p>

<p>I remember Wake Forest required me to send them my picture, and I asked why that was when I visited them in admissions. It's apparently to help the admissions officers remember who you were if you visited and showed interest in the school or something like that.</p>

<p>Sending in a picture when it's not requested, particularly a suggestive picture, would be heavily frowned upon I suspect. Who on earth would let in a student so immature that she felt like she needed to use her sex appeal on a group of old farts she never even met?</p>

46

<p>Here is my best crack at it. I have asked this to an admissions officer.</p>

<p>They want a picture to match a face to the applicant so they can get a whole perspective of you. Being ugly or hot seems to have no effect. I think they just like to be able to have a visual cause it helps them think of the applicant as an actual person and not just numbers and an essay on paper.</p>

<p>I went to the Brown info session and they ask for a picture for the reasons I stated above.</p>

<p>P.S. The Brown info session was really funny. Also Bucknell was just about the most entertaining hou of my life. That is not sarcastic. Their admissions guy Tim Jphnson is amazing. Anybody else seen him?</p>

<p>send your baby picture. No one would get jealous or think you are dumb. they'll just admire you as a cute, little baby. How sweet!</p>

48

<p>^ genius .</p>

<p>The advice I have heard about sending a picture, is to do so if it is reqquested, even if it is optional. Otherwise don't. When you send a picture, bear in mind that you don't know who you could offend if you send something foolish or suggestive. Most schools that want a picture, do try to match the face with the person, so a good face shot is preferred, not an action shot.</p>

<p>Funny. A picture could certainly draw different reactions, but I'd think a good-looking image would have a positive effect, portraying you as someone who cares about themselves and their future. Of course the "this person is attaching a picture just to help portray their good looks" reaction is dangerous, but if it's presented in a way that just makes the app more personalized, then cool. Photoshop is your friend. ;)</p>
