Snail mail secondaries....

[Dr. Geoff]

Hey guys,

Dumb question.... when you send school's secondaries through snail mail, do you put them in a regular envolope, folded up? Or do you get one of those larger manilla envelopes?

I did the old folded paper in a tiny white envelope.....probably not very professional looking, but it does the job...i dont think that a large envelope will gain more attention or anything...its not like sending in a resume to a job

I sent the big envelope, but I realized that it cost over 5 bucks in postage. Now, that's not a whole lot, but think about the fact that I'm applying to 30 schools...
SO, I'm thinking little envelope from now on.

I had one snail mail secondary and I sent the little envelope. I got in, so it couldn't have been frowned upon that much.

Do any schools SEND you their secondaries via snailmail, without any email notification?

I think Loyola sends the invite for a secondary via snailmail, but the actual secondary is still online....not 100% sure though

I don't think it's a dumb question. I was just wondering the same thing earlier today - you just got around to asking it before I could.

OHSU does this. They actually mail you a letter that gives you a website and a password. You then go online, print off their secondary application, and snail mail it back to them.

They also let you know when your application is complete, and when/if they are interviewing you via snail mail. However, they sent my acceptance letter electronically...it blew my mind a little bit.

I think Dartmouth does.

I bought a bunch of 99 cent hard 9x12 envelopes at Walmart to send any hard copies in. I wouldn't risk sending it in a small white envelope. You never know what could get bent or torn.

I, too, used the large manila envelopes, out of fear a smaller envelope might get overlooked and delayed in the mail.

large envelopes for me, as well.

I used small white envelopes, with the exception of one school, but otherwise, it's fine. The schools received my secondaries just fine, no need to waste more money on postage for big envelopes. We're paying so much as is.
