Right now I'm at the point where it looks like I just put the seeds on the Chia pet, but I'm bored and kind of want to shave it again. I have an interview on Wednesday. What do you guys think?
 
in the beginning of the cycle i had a standard buzz/short haircut, 3 interviews resulted in 3 acceptances. halfway through the cycle i shaved my head, 3 more interviews resulted in 2 waitlists and a rejection. i'm still wondering if appearances matter.
 
I don't want to push you in the wrong direction with med school at stake. Posting a pic will help us all make a more informed decision! 🙂
 
show dedication. shave your eyebrows too.
 
lol, i'm now wondering what kind of responses I was expecting to get...
 
Agreed. If you're not a bumpy head, I see no problem. The shaved head has become pretty socially acceptable.

Assuming that the OP is male. As much as I love the shaved head look on females, I don't think that would be as acceptable.

So: non-bumpy head, shaved balls and eyebrows, male = go for it!
 
Presuming your shaved head isn't entirely unesthetic, I would see the Captain-Picard look as acceptable.

You should dress in a Star Trek uniform too. To make it more acceptable. 😀
 
Don't shave it. Or at least wait until after interviews. Guys with shaved always look really aggressive to me, even while logically I ought to know that there is little correlation between hair length and temperament.

Still, if there is even the slightest chance that an interviewer will feel the same way I do, it would worth it to not shave your head. You are a grown up, of course, but I would wait until after the interview.
 
Some of us have no choice but to rock the look...



My lady interviewers loved it... trust me 😎

Alopecia, btw.
