So I thought I'd start what I think is an interesting topic.
How much do you think physical looks matter to adcoms? Sure, we can say that interview skills and a great application matters most, but it's impossible to say that attractiveness does not play a role since... after all, adcoms are human.
And yes, I bring this up because I'm slightly worried about my own appearance. I've gained a lot of weight the past year (personal reasons... not a good excuse though), and have been working hard to lose it by interview time.
What do ya'll think?
