I have 9 by 12 inch envelopes which I am using to send my applications. How many stamps do I need for them? I don’t want them to be sent back to me and me miss the deadline… What do you guys think?
<p>At least three. Possibly more, depending on how much you have packed into them.</p>
<p>That would suck if it got sent back for improper postage... has that ever happened to anyone?</p>
<p>Bring them to a post office and have them do the postage.</p>
<p>I put two on all of mine.</p>
<p>edit: per the recommendation of my guidance counselor and english teacher. She says she knows what she's doing... lol</p>
<p>whenever I sent a package (in a 9x12), I took it to the post office. Both times (1 for Harvard/Yale) the postage was 60 cents. I just got letters yesterday confirming that both schools had received my application. If you want to save a trip to the Post office, just stick two stamps, and you'll be fine.</p>
<p>My high school's guidance office tells us to put 5 stamps on each big envelope... Better to have too many stamps than too few I suppose.</p>
<p>if you're doing your application on-line then you shouldn't have too many papers in your envelope. i did my apps on-line and only had my transcript and 2 recommendations in the envelopes. i only put 2 stamps on each big envelope and it worked for me! plus... stamps can get expensive, so try not to waste them!</p>
<p>If you're wondering which stamps can give you an edge or even a "hook", check out this thread:</p>
<p>Its sad, but I actually looked up pricing online. IIRC, you can send about 4 pages in a regular sized envelope with 1 stamp; it all depends on the weight of what you're sending.</p>
<p>Depends on the denomination of the stamp.</p>
<p>Fedex is the safest way to go. USPS is notorious for losing mail.</p>
<p>go to the post office and have them do the stamp stuff, like jenskate said. That is what i did everytime....it costed me 60 cents each time though</p>
<p>yeah, just make a trip to the post office get a sticker that pays the postage fee. The "hook" might be: you were diligent enough to actually go to the post office and not just stay home and lick stamps to put on your envelope. Or not.</p>
