<p>the form for teacher rec that will be submitted offline says do not fold, so does that mean we have to send them in 9x12 envelopes?</p>
<p>Might as well. I'm not familiar with this rule, but it's probably to make it easier for the admissions office to scan them in.</p>
<p>yep. big envelope</p>
<p>uh....whoops. </p>
<p>I hope they don't mind the normal-sized envelopes....:P</p>
<p>yeah same limetime, I totally didn't see this, where did you see it? i got like 9x6 brown envelopes so it's only folded once, but oh well :/</p>
<p>^ Its at the top of all the teacher recs and secondary school forms. I wouldn't worry about it too much, though. I'm sure like 75% of the forms come in folded anyway. Plus half the time the teachers/counselors send the forms themselves, and I don't think Columbia would reject anyone on the sole basis that their forms were folded</p>
<p>I really doubt that any one gives any significance to this. I mean, my school made a big deal about it and forced me to use the really big envelopes but I don't think any one really cares.</p>
