appearance

Well I personally think that a lot of ole miss needs to lay off the bleach, so I'm all for going dark if you want to. However, just make sure it's a good color for you and you'll be comfortable with it. I'm assuming you'll be getting it done professionally, but just in case you're not, go try on some dark wigs and see what shade of brown works best because it might not be what you think.

The general advice is NOT to make any dramatic changes from the pictures that you submitted with your resume. Just before an important event is not the best time to experiment.

If we can't match your in-person appearance with the photo that you submitted then we are going to have a harder time recalling anything about you during recruitment, and that's a good way to fall through the cracks and get dropped. We try to become somewhat familiar with pnm's before they walk through the door through their photos and resumes, so if you change your appearance too drastically then all that goes out the window and you'll just get lost in the crowd.
