photo for the MCAT ID card

[crazy_cavalier]

Hey everyone,

Is there any strict criteria regarding the picture that we submit on our MCAT ID card? I mean, in the picture I want to submit, there is a bunch of stuff in the background (i.e. books, flowers, etc.) - should I instead have a plain backdrop?

Is there any regulation in the pose, amount of face vs. amount of body shown, etc.... ??

Thanks bunches.

I just went to Costco and got it done. 2 Passport photos for $5.

cut out any old picture of your face (it's just to identify you)

I used on old picture from high school

DEFINITELY don't spend any money for it----just use something you have lying around, or print out a pic you have online

I'm using a digital photo printed on photo paper. Just to be on the safe side, I followed the "official" guidelines for U.S. passport photos: http://travel.state.gov/passport/guide/composition/composition_874.html

it's pretty informal. last year i just snapped a photo w/my digital camera, printed it off, and taped it to the card.
