<p>apparently some people sent in pictures to Tufts of what they do? what's this all about?</p>
<p>it's definitely an optional thing, some people just feel like it provides a better picture (literally lol) of themselves to the adcoms...this would probably be especially beneficial if you really emphasize a certain passion in your esssays/application, and then provide a picture of yourself actively participating in that activity.</p>
<p>I sent in a picture along with the optional essay. It was a picture of me from the New York Times protesting John Roberts. My friend who got in early decision just sent in a regular smiley picture of himself and he got in early decision as well! I don't think it really matters.</p>
<p>I had a friend take mine today. I took my bath robe in the library with me and had him take a picture of me in front of the stacks. I dont know, I think it looks kind of cool</p>
<p>hmm ok, i guess ill send a pic of me in a newspaper or something</p>
