"Off the wall"question about application :)

<p>My D is applying for Fall 2014 admission. A friend told me that submission of a photo is recommended or required but I haven't seen this criteria. Does anyone know if this is true, or if my friend is "pulling my leg?"</p>

<p>I can only speak for myself. I have not heard or seen anything about submitting a photo as part of the application. We certainly didn’t have to do that two years ago when S applied.</p>

<p>I sent three kids to college and helped them fill out more applications than I care to think about and never once were they asked to send a photo.</p>

<p>It used to be a standard part of an application in many places. Then (mid to late sixties) potential discrimination became an issue. A photo became optional, but schools were reluctant to require it because of liability.</p>

<p>We had to send a photo for the SAT. I’m not completely sure if colleges had access to the photo.</p>

<p>Check how the colleges word it. Ime, they don’t ask for it. Some hs transcripts include a photo. CB doesn’t send one to colleges, as far as I know. That’s for verification at test centers.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone! I thought the photo requirement sounded questionable. :)</p>
