Pictures sent in...

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>I didn't apply to Columbia. But news of this picture send in has spread to the Yale forums.</p>

<p>Please identify what kind of picture you sent in...</p>

<p>[Scandalous- I'm Elle Woods and it's going to get me in]
[Myspace- You know. The one with the weird angle that supposedly makes you look less ugly]
[Conservative- Yeah it's me.. chilling in a sweater.]
[Beach- I know some of you did it. You couldn't resist sending in a picture showing some skin]
[Hidden Message- Something with a setting. Probably your peace rally or EC. It screams accept me!]
[Freaky- You thought sending in a goofy picture will make you "diverse". Making faces and such]
[Yearbook photo- Your lame and used it. That or a studio photo]</p>

<p>Any others maybe?</p>

<p>Coffee.. come to Yale and marry me?</p>

<p>Amadeuic.. I can see you being the unlucky one that gets sent to the alternate all-female committee. They all exclaim skank and deny you ;p</p>

<p>JK!</p>

<p>it was a yearbook photo... but it was in a white room wearing a short dress and holding an electric guitar</p>

<p>Hidden message: I was standing in front of their library. So very subtle.</p>

9

<p>...</p>

<p>Yup, I wore a sweater. Woahboy.</p>

10

<p>Mal: I'm a male, they'd appreciate it.</p>

11

<p>^ lol? i thought columbia was largely male?</p>

12

<p>hidden message... I'm standing in front of Monet's Japanese Footbridge in the National Gallery of Art (they allow flash photography, which surprised me). I thought it conveyed how cultured and sophisticated I am, and a subtle message that yes, I am the kind of person that appreciates art and that they should totally let me into Columbia. haha.</p>

<p>I took it myself, though, so it's kinda at a 3/4 profile slightly-Myspace-y angle.</p>

13

<p>Cali, don't worry about the details...</p>

14

<p>I sent a formal portrait of me. Wearing a Zoo York hoodie and baggy jeans, et al. Not my greatest idea.</p>

15

<p>posing on my bed</p>

16

<p>mine is a picture of me at the top of Mt. Elbrus -- the highest peak in Russia. I hope htey like guys in big poofy jackets</p>

17

<p>I'm in front of a train schedule, looking awfully professional (except for not at all).</p>

18

<p>my obnoxiously happy face + Stephen Colbert's americone dream filling up the entire frame</p>

19

<p>Freaky -- A strange toddler approached me and started climbing atop my head (not like piggy-back, like literally climbing on top of my head). It was kind of an action shot (she was in mid-falling) and both of us were smiling and looked really good (actually she looked better than me) so I sent it in.</p>

<p>Hidden Message -- This happened to have been in front of Furnald...</p>

<p>I actually thought it would be more fun to imagine the admissions committee trying to guess how I looked.</p>
