<p>ive noticed on some apps to top schools liek columbia and brown that they want us to submit pictures of ourselves (not required though). </p>
<p>does anyone know why? or have any advice onto what kind of pictures we should submit (portrait vs. in action?)</p>
<p>I think they just want to remind their admissions folks that there are real kids on the other side of all those applications. Submit any picture you like. I wouldn't go too far overboard, but I might pick a photo that's not as posed as one for school that makes you look friendly and like someone a person would like to meet.</p>
<p>It's for the adcoms to take a break and look at hot chicks.</p>
