Do we have to upload a photo for secondaries?

So in some secondaries, there is an option to upload a photo, but you can submit the secondary without having uploaded it.

Is this something that is required?

If so, can you still upload it after you've submitted the secondary or were you supposed to have done it before you clicked submit?

Thanks!

Just submit a picture with the secondary. If you don't submit it then, they'll probably ask you to bring a picture to your interview.

Submitting it afterwards will depend on the school and the way their system is set up.

Depends on the school, but yes.

Some require it with the secondary, some require it before your interview.

This sounds like a dumb question but are you allowed to smile in the photo? lol Because in passport photos and driver's licenses, you gotta keep a straight face.

Thanks.

Some of the apps I've done have actually recommended a smile.

Does have to be like a professional picture (taken at a studio)?

It should look like this:

So at a studio, gotcha. 👍

Studio might be a bit much. I just made mine look nice against a plain background.

Wtf which school recommended a smile?

Wear professional or at least business casual. You don't need a suit, but a nice blouse for women and a shirt and tie for men is great. Plain background. You can go to AAA or whatever and ask for a passport photo, but tell them it's not for a passport so they'll let you smile. And yes, please smile or do whatever you naturally do. We don't need a mugshot and you don't need to look awkward. 😛
