true, but I did a search for "facial hair" and didnt find anything. Is there an opinion for goatees or sideburns on men?

 

[NubianPrincess]

Good question

BIG mistake, or little one?

bleh.....

seriously though...I am curious as far as the facial hair goes. Is a groomed goatee bad? Or does it portray the "youg punk" type look? In a nutshell, is it a negative or positive thing?

thnx....

I really don't know and I am a female. But I would think that as long as your facial hair is nicely and neatly groomed, it's all good. *shrug*

I highly suggest pork chop sideburns and a gigantic fro.

I went to a interview prep. workshop yesterday and our pre-med advisor told the guys to be completely clean shaven. She said she was sitting in on an ad comm meeting and saw them reject someone because his hair was too long! However, I AM from Texas and on some issues we seem to be a lot more conservative. I would guess that it varies. I don't see why neatly trimmed facial hair would be a problem.

This is just my opinion, but I think that if you have to even question what it will portray you as, then it's best to avoid altogether. You don't need to chance the school's perception of you based on something like that. I'd recommend just waiting until after you get those acceptances
