<p>How are the essays submitted? Are they plain-text on the common app website? Or can you do it with a pdf or doc? I'm asking basically because I want to include pictures in mine :P</p>
<p>You can send in a word document, though I’m not sure if the website will accept word documents with images. You might be safer just sending in an essay, without pictures. But, if you really want to, you can try to upload your word document come Aug 1 and see how it turns out. (You will be able to preview your submitted essay)</p>
<p>This is unconventional though. Why do you want pictures? if you don’t mind me asking of course.</p>
