Question on Re-Application Photo

[UniSushi]

Hi ya'll.

I am a reapplicant this year (last year unsuccessful, TMDSAS) and was wondering if I should update my application photo as well.

My look hasn't really changed since last year and I currently have a stye in my eye that's holding me from taking a new photo. I'd like to submit my app as soon as possible.

I've tried to search for answers but couldn't find any.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Don't think it would really matter much if you didn't update it

Depends on the quality of your previous photo. Clean, semi-professional headshot? Keep. Wedding bathroom selfie? Replace.

I am so over the bathroom selfies, the selfie while driving, the wedding photo cut-out, the cross-table date shot and especially the one with starving children.
Oh, and let's not forget the photo you didn't pay for. Nothing says professional like SAMPLE stamped across the face!

This process is expensive!

I swear, do UCD or Western get these types of lunatics for interviewees??? WHAT is it about your school???????

Thank you all for responding. The photo was a professional, single-subject (me) portrait with a suit & tie. I've decided to use a different, yet professional photo from the same set taken last year. I had forgotten I had several to choose from.

I know suit jacket is recommended but can white lab coat be acceptable (along with white shirt and dark tie) for men? Thanks.

No!
Even if you are already a physician(somewhere), don't do it.
This is a tone-deaf move.

Do it. We need all the help we can get to cull the herd.
