Why do schools take your picture?

<p>Just curious. A few, but not all, of the schools I went to for interviews took my picture and I just wanted to know why they do that.</p>

<p>I’m not sure if any of the boarding schools did this with my daughter but I know many day schools asked for a picture with their application. I always assumed it was to put a face with the application name and also help remember the applicant once it came time to discuss admissions. I could be completely wrong </p>

<p>For some of my schools, if you use their online application, you can upload a picture. I agree with @NYCMomof3.</p>
