This is a dumb question - but how do I send in my photo for my ERAS application?
thanks
 
We had to have our picture made because the photo has to be in the last 6 months. We just give it to the Registrar and they scan it in like everything else.

You provide your designated dean's office a wallet-sized photo and they scan it in, just like your letters of rec.
 
Our school recommends we get professional/semi-professional photos done and submitted to them by mid-October.

What if, if there is a transmission failure? Can the photo be re-sent? Will the ERAS upload it again to the post-office? Can you see your photo there, once its uploaded to the post-office? I mean what if - if your photo drops on the floor there in the ERAS office, some shoe walks on it, then it gets picked-up and scanned by the scanners ... and lo and behold ... you don't get any interviews because you look like you were kicked in the face? (remember that shoe?)

No idea. I just had photos taken, picked one (3x4") and gave it to my school, they scanned it and uploaded it for me. Programs then have been downloading it off ERAS.
