Beard or no beard?
I am in the process of applying for pharmacy school, I must include a picture. Should I be clean shaven? Or is the beard acceptable?
 Excuse the mess, obviously I will be getting a professional photo made in nicer clothes |

Beard or no beard?
At this point I would say no beard.
The clean cut Eagle Scout is the safe way to go.

You'd be a shoo-in for gladiator school.

Do the clean kid thing. No side burns either. You never know who will be looking at the picture. A beard especially in a picture clouds the whole image.

Shave. You can grow it back once you have the pic. Sideburns are ok as long as they aren't past the bottom of the ears. I would also get a hair cut that breaks up the hairline on the forehead a little better. Looks too much like a home made haircut with the help of a pot right now.
 I know, you didn't ask about the hair cut. Also, a light smile in the picture will be good - not teeth showing. Cheers, G |

Guys keep in mind I didn't try to look decent in that picture.
I barely brushed my hair when I got up this morning. Got a haircut Saturday.....

Repost with the actual picture for us EXPERTS to critique.
BTW, I have a beard. But I'd shave for any application picture. Only takes a day and a half to grow back for me.  j/k. G |

Unless pharmacy school is run by amishers/quakers, I'd lose the beard

I used to have a pretty serious cowlick, started combing it like this when I got a pretty nice gash on the forehead. The scar isn't near as prominent now....

In all seriousness, lose the beard and trim the sideburns.
I weighed the option of shaving when I had a few new clients one after the other. My existing clients don't care, but you have to make a good first impression. I didn't shave though. Figured I am established enough and I've decided to wear the beard until summer, I like the look. Once it gets hot, we'll see what happens.

ditch it!
The current trendy "scruffy bearded young guy look" works on some guys some of the time, probably not the best look for a pharma job let alone an interview.... Personally, I'd rather see a clean cut eagle scout type dole out my mothers heart meds. You can always grow it back later, right?

That kind of image usually accompanies a news story with a line like:
"He was a quiet boy, a loner, and then one day he just snapped..." 86 the beard; find a stylist.

Too funny!! Sid, lose the beard, keep the sideburns in check and tidy. Try smiling a little bit for your picture, not too much. Don't sweat about the application, they're fools if they don't let you in.
