<p>I think that I have read that sending a picture with an application is recommended because it makes your application more personal to the admissions staff who are reading large numbers of app's everyday...</p>
<p>If this is the case, then is it better to apply by mail than online? Or should you send a photo with the supplemental app by mail, then apply with the common app online (I assume that there is no way to upload a photo onto the online app, right?)</p>
<p>Is this a ridiculous question altogether?</p>
