Newyorker212: You don't need invitation for Open days, but I do advise you to register online, cause it will come practical if you're accepted to FI and further. Iregistered online only 1 day prior to my Open day, cause you won't get any invitation but your status will appear "Applied". For photos: I do advise you to take the face shot at the same time as full lenght, cause you will need the face shot to be: with BIG SMILE, hair in bun (no hair visible on the sides), preferebly red lipstick. So your photo won't be OK if you make it to the FI. For the business attire: Hair in bun (no hair visible), no jewelry, standing straight towards camera (no side photos), legs straight towards camera, standing still, hands on the side of your body (there must be "space" between hands and body). Attire: knee lenght skirt, closed shoes with heels, blouse, elegant jacket, red lipstick (red nails or french manicure), tights in skin color.
amanda.lyon: Call back the nuber that called you (when you received GC). That's what they told me to do if something goes wrong.
Juliette-chan: Sure you can, if the photo meets other requirements: you in focus, smiling, no sunglasess, no hats, appropriate wear (not shoving too much). You just must look cute
. It doesn't matter if you wear a kimono or a dress
