<p>When my D1 applied to Brown in fall of 2003, a photo was optional. She sent one. She did not send one to any other college, however. She attended Brown.</p>
<p>(unrelated to that, D2 had to bring a headshot to every college she applied to as they were by audition and required)</p>
<p>PS…I no longer see anything about a photo on the current Brown application, but it is now 8 years later.</p>
