Ditto the "it depends where you're going to school". Look at the number of threads on this board that have the phrase "cute girls" in it. And look at how many girls get cut after 20 minutes talking to 2-3 sisters in big, competitive systems.
I won't get on to my soapbox about how this system discriminates against personalities in favor of looks and resumes, that's another rant entirely. But it explains why the advice you've been given reflects reality.
(Yeah, I've had the same issue most of my life. Except for the working on it part; I'm happy with who/what I am.)
Now, at systems where you can get to know the sisters, probably less of an issue.
