Can people here please compile a list of schools that require a 2x2 photo for the supplemental?

Detroit-Mercy

UNLV

Please tell me that you are not going to decide against applying to a school based on having to send a photo.

I only looked into the ones I'm applying to but here's what I've got so far:

UDM
Creighton
NYU
Pitt

Some of them ask you to send one right away and others request it only once you've been contacted by an admissions officer. The best way to find out is looking under the supplemental information section of your designations list on ADEA. It'll list the requirements there for the most part. Hope that helps!

UNC

 

[hellofuturedentists]

Minnesota
UAB

Creighton for sure. I now have a dearth of 2x2's.

Running list:

UDM
UNLV
Creighton
NYU (when contacted)
Pitt
UNC
Minnesota
UAB

---- (Here's what I've added... I went through every single entry on the ADEA website, so it should be comprehensive) ----

LSU (When contacted: A "recent passport size photo" + copy of driver's license + copy of current draft card status + proof of residency)
Harvard (When invited for an interview)
Meharry
UT-Houston (When contacted)
University of Utah

Let me know if I missed any.

 

[kayden28]

@pulltheleverkronk , NYU is also "when contacted"

Is the photo so they know what you look like if/when you interview? Or like to make sure you have decent teeth? Or...

 

[The real 007]

For UNLV application I saw that you could just put a photo in the box provided and print it. It that not correct?

LSU

If it is, it's not a great reflection of what I'll be looking like at my interviews... for some reason, I always look pale and sickly in my passport-style photos -_-

Advice: If you're competent in Photoshop, make yourself look marginally more attractive by eliminating wrinkles caused by lighting. You can also whiten your teeth. Just be careful not to butcher the photo... they'll be able to tell. Don't improve yourself enough so that it doesn't look like you. I don't feel bad doing it since girls get to cheat by wearing makeup [emoji57]

Boys can wear make up, too. You do you.

Perfect, will upload copies to dating sites as well to kill two birds with one stone.

I don't know

I heard they ask for a pic because they want Class of 2020 to be exceptionally good looking.

Well, looks like my chances are shot then

Maybe you can hold up a $20 bill in your photo and wink

I'll just hold up a sign that says "I have a really great personality"

Here's my 2x2 if you guys need some rough guidelines on how to do yours:

 

[gsquared]

I could see blue steel, but I'm not sure if the world is ready--much less a few unprepared dental school ADCOMs--for magnum...

ps-- your 2x2 looks suspiciously like a 2x6 pulltheleverkronk...I'm pretty sure that is a recipe for an instant rejection ("does not follow direction well")

"lacks attention to detail"

geez people stop criticizing my satire for being nonconformist [emoji57]

 

[lumos26]

BU also requires a 2x2 photo! 🙂

edited: BU requires you bring one to the interview**

I dare you.
Report back with results.

op: the schools that require a 2x2 will tell you and you can simply print one and mail it or email it. This is the last thing to worry about in advance.

 

[gsquared]

I don't think I made myself clear; I certainly have no dearth of 2x2's, and I'm trying to hand them out/mail them/distribute them by whatever means possible.

might as well make it your profile photo on facebook and direct the schools to your facebook 😆
