<p>When giving my letters to my teachers/counselor, I used a standard sized envelope given by the school that had a return address of the school. I put 1 postage stamp for each envelope and wrote the address of the schools that I'm sending to. One question: Do I have to indicate my name on the envelope? Cause I did not do that and I'm not sure if they will be able to file it correctly. Also is 1 postage stamp OK?</p>
<p>1 stamp should be fine for a standard sized envelope. All the recs must have some kind of good identifying information on there; your name is not enough. Something like your birthday, social security number, or application ID should be somewhere on it. If not, you need to send the recs again.</p>
<p>You mean on the outside of the envelope?</p>
<p>Cause all the information that you say that I require is inside the envelope on the actual papers.</p>
<p>It should be the name of the teacher with the school address not your address. One stamp is enough but DD's high school suggested 2 stamps so DD put 2 stamps.</p>
<p>I would like to rephrase:</p>
<p>In the envelope contrains my letters and forms for recommendation. Everything in there is able to confirm my identity etc. What I'm having qualms about are the envelopes. On the outside, the return address is just my school address, and the center is the address of the university. On the top right corner there is a stamp.
Here is my question:</p>
<p>Should there be identification of me on the OUTSIDE the envelope where these addresses and stuff exist for the adscom to be able to file me correctly? Or will they open the envelope and then file me ('cause that's where all the information is at). Do they file the envelope or the contents inside it? I guess I might be paranoid but I have to get this off my chest. Thanks!</p>
<p>No, you're fine. No need to put anything else in the envelope. They don't file the envelope(they are not that crazy!).</p>
<p>thank you 99cents!</p>
<p>i can now rest in peace :)</p>
