[quote=Anonymous]This thread is so amusing. I'd remind you all that those making admissions decisions are human. Emotion and "gut feelings" influence decisions made by humans. Every admissions professional I've encountered to date seems professional and ethical. I expect that admission decisions are not consciously influenced by looks, but personal appearance impacts humans. That doesn't necessarily mean that good looking kids get all the breaks. A heavy plain looking admissions person is not going to be keen on the child of a trophy mom. A preppy admissions person isn't going to be keen on a grudge look. Most schools have open houses where you meet the decision makers before any personal interview. My advice is to try to mirror, to some extent, the appearance of the decision makers. [/quote]
