<p>Hi,</p>
<p>At my school, for teacher recommendations, we were told to give them plain, white business size letter envelopes. So I did, and I believe one of my two teachers sent it already.</p>
<p>But...Stanford requires the big YELLOW envelopes!</p>
<p>Will I be penalized?</p>
<p>**And one more question: for transcripts, we leave that up to our counselors to mail, right??? Because there is no mailing label for transcripts.</p>
<p>You’re fine.</p>
<p>Transcripts are sent in with SR</p>
<p>it’s also fine if your teachers submitted their recs only through the common app and not physically sent in, right?</p>
<p>^ Yep, you’ll be fine. If Stanford misses out anything, they will email you in early February.</p>
<p>(Heck, I think I totally disregarded the Stanford mailing instructions and I still got in XD - I think it just makes it easier for the staff in the admissions department to sort through the tonnes of mail they get every day).</p>
<p>yup same here frankchn</p>
<p>Just use the common app and life is much easier =]</p>
