How have students enjoyed the new Pick Six?

Question

I had the chance to review a client's work recently where they submitted images for the Pick Six question. I am wondering how do applicants like this new option? I also am curious how Stern is responding to the new question. What I liked is that it gave the applicant a chance to tell their story in a unique way and I learned a lot about the applicant as a person from this exercise.

Can anyone tell me if the images to be added to Pick Six have to be captured/created by me or can I add images picked off the internet if I think they are relevant to me?

I was admitted with all found images.

What do you mean by "found" images? that you just found stock photos and used?

I think there is great freedom here- you can use to share personal photos-- or just use "found" pictures to illustrate who you are. That's interesting to get that feedback as I don't think some would consider that option.

I think overall this is not the "deciding" factor part of the application-- but it does give you some creativity and a fun way to share who you are!

Sorry not very specific

. I agree that you have wide latitude here. I decided to focus on my approach to problem solving / decision making. I had the three sentence intro at the top of the page which was to the end of "this are the drivers in my life that are present when I'm approaching a problem." I then included six images, most found via Google, some assembled with Photoshop, that were visual representations of the principals that I value, and a caption describing that principal.
