Envelope [Beware of silly questions]

Applying to College

<p>So, I was just wondering, which way do the openings of your envelopes face when you address them to send your transcript and stuff? I usually do it on the right, but sometimes I randomly switch. I wonder if this holds some kind of deep psychological meaning. </p>

<p>Also, do you think it would be endearing or disrespectful to draw on the envelope? Some cool designs, or a nice watercolor or something on the back? Would such creativity be appreciated (say...at Tufts)?</p>

<p>Also, what kind of stamps do you guys use? Right now I'm going with these really cool flowers... at one point all I had available was teddy bears, so I hope they don't mind.</p>

<p>Hee hee... none of this makes any difference, but it's fun to share idiosyncrasies and such things during this stressful time.</p>

<p>I hope you have the time to do all that. It was bad enough that DD sent a postcard to one school which still has the name of another school on the back.</p>

<p>If it keeps you from stressing out, why not? If it keeps you from doing your homework, it is a different issue. I suspect that most adcoms do not see the envelopes at all. They have student office helpers to open, sort and file applications.</p>
