Your problem is that you only submitted a photograph. If you really want to stand out from the crowd you need to submit a video application. Try to get the "A class political" to make a cameo in it.

First, learn to English. Second, you submitted a letter of recommendation that was written on a photograph?

The numbers should be enough to do it. And apparently, humility. But in all seriousness, just stick with the regular sort of LOR.

Why on earth would you submit a photograph?

I call flame. No dean would actually take the time to tell someone that. They'd just deny it.

Which dean called you arrogant? Why haven't you told the A class political that you work for to take care of it?

Actually they did take the time out because I had asked what I could have done differently to gain admission. I will not say who but he was very furious I did not leave it at the office recommendation. I thought a personal one from a politican would have helped. I was wrong
Everyone asks this. They almost never (if ever) answer it do to liability reasons.

Edit: I wouldn't even bother applying to that school again. You exercised some pretty poor judgment. I wouldn't submit a photo if it was a picture of the President of the university with a personal message directing the law school to admit me. It's just not how things are done professionally.

Im surprised that no one has asked this (or maybe they have and I missed it), but the real question in my mind is are you attractive? If not, I suggest sending in a photo of someone else next time.
