Columbia Optional Paragraph

<p>What exactly are we supposed to write for this? The directions are pretty vague. Can we write on any topic? </p>

<p>As the admissions staff reads your application, it is always gratifying for us to be able to match an application with the face of someone we may have met during the year. To this end, please feel free to upload your photograph below.</p>

<p>you don’t write anything for it but just upload a photo of yourself if you please. The point of it is if you’ve visited they can match an application to the applicant.</p>

<p>its not a PARAgraph
its a PHOTOgraph</p>
