<p>Is it a good idea to send my college admissions portfolio materials using certified mail?
(The portfolio must be sent via snail mail.) </p>
<p>Do you think the college will look down on me for it or consider it a hassle, or do you think it would be alright?</p>
<p>I would really like to send it certified for my own peace of mind, but what do you think?</p>
<p>bump please</p>
<p>Idk what college you’re applying to but when I had to send my art portfolio to Stanford, they specifically asked for no certified mail, they won’t accept it. Honestly, I think it would be a huge hassle for the office to sign everything, especially since they receive hundreds to thousands of portfolio/apps. For your peace of mind, just add a little tracking sticker. I think it’s 50 cents at the post office, or if you’re sending via courier, they have tracking included.</p>
