<p>I'm sending one to all the schools I apply to, whether or not they ask for one.</p>
<p>If you send a nice, innocent picture of yourself, there's no way they can say no.</p>
<p>I don't think Georgetown has that any more. I didn't see anywhere to attach a picture when I did my application.</p>
<p>do you really think sending a photograph is a way for them to not be able to say no?</p>
<p>I think sending in a photo with your application is ridiculous.</p>
<p>I sent a picture everywhere I applied even if they didn't ask for one, but then again I just look amazing</p>
<p>For those who did, do you just attach it somewhere on your Common App (include an ImageShack link?) or do you mail in an actual glossy picture?</p>
<p>Mailed an 8.5x11 in the front of the envelope</p>
<p>"they won't be able to say no"</p>
<p>Well, from psychological point of view it's true. When adcoms see a photo, they are considering a person, not application. I know it is only a photo, but it's easier to reject pure application. It's just how our brain works.</p>

<p>I think it's ridiculous as well, if you're smart shouldn't they want you at their school regardless of looks?</p>
<p>It's because adcomms want to get hot and heavy with beautiful people, not ugly ones! Duh!!</p>
<p>well the reality is they do want beautiful people at their school, even if they deny it.</p>
<p>DCoy54, my S complied with the invitation on the Elon application form to upload a picture of himself in connection with completing the online application. For other schools, including some that utilize the common application (e.g., Wake Forest), he included a nice color photo on the top corner of the first page of his "Student-Athlete Profile" (i.e., resume), which he mailed in to the schools. It was not a separate (detachable) photo, but was done as part of his printed resume. There were one or two schools that, in their instructions, expressly asked that applicants not send in separate resumes (e.g., UGA), and S honored those instructions and did not send the resume to those schools. I believe he just used the head shot that was taken for his high school yearbook. He's a real good-looking kid (looks like his mother!!) and I'm sure he included the photo on the resume because he thought it could only help him. For what it's worth ...</p>
<p>in reality beauty does help a lot. Look at abercombie and finch. You have to be at least decent looking to work there. It is discriminating, but people like to have pretty faces around. Who would the admission's officers rather have, a bright good looking kid, or a kid with about equal credentials, but is not so "aesthetically pleasing".</p>
<p>Thanks alot razordad</p>
<p>Vassar also gives applicants the option of submiting a photo.</p>
