<p>Hey guys (more specifically Dean J but… :)),</p>

<p>I was wondering how you think the Adcom would react to pictures in an essay. The pictures are comical and fit exactly what I’m writing about.

<p>These are 2 of the 3 links. The second one is comical but fits perfectly in my essay. I don’t want to be disrespectful to the person reading my essay and have them think that I’m taking the application in a joking manor. Do you think it would be wise to include pictures if they fit?</p>

<p>Thanks for all the help guys! GL tommorow night is it!</p>

<p>It’s become a gimmick. One that I don’t think is necessary.</p>

<p>Do you really need a picture to get your message across?</p>

<p>Thank you Dean J. That is exactly the kind of answer I was looking for. I will definitely not include pictures in my essays now.</p>
