Do physical appearance matter?
Started by CannabisWERD
The topic has a ton of psychology research behind it. Tall, attractive people are more likely to succeed at pretty much everything.

The fact that you asked this question illustrates that it does matter.
I'm not saying if you're good looking with a 2.0 and a 15 you'll get into harvard, but don't think that it doesn't play into the minds of EVERYONE you interact with.

Like Bill Gates. I know, I know...he is the exception, not the rule. Plenty of homely techies make it big... and attractive techies too. 😉
That's only because attractive techies induce a slackjawed stupor in techies of the opposite sex.
There was a study like this on one of those Dateline / 20-20 type shows....sent in homely looking and attractive interviewers with identical credentials. Guess who fared better? 🙄
They presented it as if it was some new revelation.

Good appearance may or may not be a matter depending on different interviewers/schools. However, surely, good looking/white teeth is a plus. Patients certainly can't trust a dentist whose teeth are yellow/dirty/missing.😀
since i got in does that make me hot? Yessssssss
Sure!
All I know is schools that asked me to send in a pic like Columbia, NYU, etc I got accepted into. Versus schools like UNC, temple and UPenn that didn't ask for a pic I didn't get into...🙄 so I don't know whats up with that...Temple didn't even give me an interview 😕***so yeah its ALL ABOUT the PHOTO!***
"Do physical appearance matter?"
I revise my answer, no physical appearance do not matter. However proper english might.

Probably true. As a psychology major, I came across some researches on this issue. Yeah, tall and attractive people are winners in most cases. We are more prone to listen carefully what attractive people say.
Yet, as long as you're clean-looking and well-mannered, I don't see a problem.
If you are a guy, make sure you shave cleanly before the interview. If you are a girl, make sure you do *subtle* or *bare* make-up.
Following link is about career interviews yet I used the advice on my interview. http://careeradvice.suite101.com/article.cfm/your_appearance_at_the_interview
I don't think it mattered a whole lot at my school 😱

I'm short and average looking. Columbia liked me just fine.
I don't think you'll have any issues... Neatly trimmed
It can't hurt to look good, you can't go in looking like a hobo.

i read somewhere you should take all jewelry out for interviews.....but i think this was in a business interview books? there should be exceptions like wedding rings.

Would you go to a dentist with a nose ring in during practice? If so, would the average american go to a dentist with a nose ring in during practice?

Most schools read SDN to find info on the current applicant cycle. Dr. Davis told my group this tidbit of information at my Columbia interview. I suggest that you change your screen name before someone figures out who you are and subsequently places your application in the circular file.
I got into school and am ugly. There is hope...but I would focus more on grades and DAT scores than rhinoplasties and blepharoplasties.
Sure!

You really need some self-confidence. Don't think so lowly of yourself.
...more arrogant please. 😎😎
