Don't use that photo!
When we say professional photo, we mean: a head shot in professional dress (smiling).
A glamour shot taken by a professional is not necessarily a professional photo.

I dont get why everybody freaks out about pictures and stuff on here.....
If you're not a tool, and you've got nothing to hide, why bother hiding?

How you present yourself is important.
Every applicant has hundreds of photos of themselves.
The one they choose shows a lot about their judgement and maturity.

You must get countless people in their graduation regalia since so many are applying a few weeks after ceremonies. Do you consider that not professional?

Regalia is common (though not preferred).
You would have to see the weird things people are doing in their regalia to get an idea of what I'm recommending against!

Will double check. Will report back if this is misinformation. And my apologies if it is.

Double checked and couldnt find it, but I am 85% sure that I have seen it somewhere. But just for reference to anyone watching take my comments as misinformation and disregard.

Go to CVS and have them take a passport photo for you.
Costs like 10 dollars.....

US Passport photos are relaxed face, nonsmiling. Maybe that's what you are thinking of.

These pics are usually asked to be a few inches across, or sometimes they request ~400 pixels or simply a very small filesize. Anything fancier than a recent phone's camera pic is gonna be overkill, just throw on your suits and find a nice background

I live alone, and was uncomfortable sending medical schools a "selfie"
The passport photo works better (in my opinion) because they have a neutral white background ready to go instead of whatever color wall you have in your home.
Plus a lot of the secondaries I wrote requested "A Passport-style photo".
Not saying iphone isn't a valid option, I just feel like a real passport style photo might be better.

-Describe a time you were out of your comfort zone

He is asking about anonymity on sdn. Not about bad application photos on a secondary.
