<p>I’m with prodesse. “Glossy appearance” is going to be aided by great lighting, and a need to put one’s best foot forward as a senior. I’m fairly sure most MTs are a hot mess most of the time because they are likely living on zero sleep. But they clean up beautifully no matter what their size and shape because true talent makes one’s pre-existing biases about physical perfection, melt away. </p>
<p>Not an MT but Matthew McConaghey anyone? 2005 Sexiest Man Alive? Have you seen Dallas Buyer’s Club? Would you turn around if that Matthew walked by you on the street? Goes to show you how looks can be deceiving. So I seriously have my doubts that schools that seem look for that sort of thing in barely 18 year olds are creating a competitive edge worth chasing and also… I seriously doubt that even if it works in the short run, it means anything for the long run.</p>
<p>One needs to only attend their 20th or 30th high school reunion to get my point. Sorry for the prospective students that don’t get what I mean by that but ask your parents… :)</p>
