What kind of photo will you guys use? A selfmade or a professional one?
It is only for recognizing us right? So before they invite us to an interview they will not be able to see the pic????confused
Can anybody clear that up for me? Thank you!

  #2

I have heard that there is a mechanism that prevents from seeing the photo until applicant is invited for interview... I could be wrong though...
I used a spouse-made photo, and will be taking one tomorrow for my wife... Just have a nice dress (not peignoir grin ) and light not busy background...

Justice, do you and your wife both write under this nickname? I don't know why I was under the impression you were a female... Sorry... confused

Anne: mine was "professional", meaning WalGreens passport picture. No picture express my real beauty (and modesty and delusional state!), anyway, so I didn't think a lot about it... or spent a lot. smiling face

I am so sick and tired of putting the hand in my pocket every time I mention USMLE, match, or residency...!!!gringringrin

Thanks Justice and Arlete!
Yes, it is hard to put a woman´s entire beautycool and gorgeousness wink in a Walgreens passport picture!
But I´m sure this is okay. My husband was taking pics of me the other day, but the flash just put a big shadow behind my head so I look like a member of the coneheadsshaking head
So, maybe WalGreens is the better choicenod
And Justice, I heard about the photo blocking mechanism toonod

Hi,
just submitted my photo to ERAS online.
Had to use a resizing online program (was for free) but it worked out pretty well.
It just shows my face. How did you guys go about this?

Hey, Arlete, sorry to reply with delay...
My wife does not post here at all, and I could not force her to do so... I had to even look for partners for her posting here... nod That's the life...
