Hoggirl Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I just wanted to share our experience uploading a photo for the upcoming ACT. It was really an easy thing to do, BUT, I wanted to let you know that the photo that prints on the admission ticket is REALLY, really small. Ds's photo on his computer screen looked fine, though his eyes were rather squinty b/c he was smiling really big. When the admission ticket printed out, his squinty eyes looked closed which is a huge no-no. I called the ACT people (I must say I always find them VERY helpful and courteous). The student services rep sent my concern to one of their photo specialists who said, yes, his eyes did *looked* closed even though they weren't. Thus, she removed the photo and we will upload another. I just wanted to share this so you could be extra careful with the photos you are taking. I am going to encourage ds NOT to smile in the next one! Good grief! It's not a Hollywood head shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vida Winter Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Thanks - dd still needs to do the photo upload for her October test. Good grief is right - but I can see that they need to do something to address cheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bassoon Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Thank you! This is a change from even 3 years ago when eldest dd took the ACT . . . . I should probably print my ticket soon to check, although I "think" his pix is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candid Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Hmm, if squinty eyes in a photo are a problem, my youngest will never be able to take the ACT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Hmm, if squinty eyes in a photo are a problem, my youngest will never be able to take the ACT. Same here! The child has lovely blue eyes and walks around like she's on the surface of the sun. Drives me insane. Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
