<p>Optional. We attached one to every application with a paperclip. Or was it a staple....hmmm? However, I don't think this is a beauty contest or that adcoms are judging appearance or influenced by visuals like this. We were hoping they might see humor and energy and those sorts of intangible qualities in a photo, but let's face it. Photos are really not of import one way or another. Your application is what matters, your record, your work ethic, your references and your essay.</p>
