sending in supplementary materials

<p>I know Columbia says they discourage supplementary recs, but I've worked closely with my mentor teacher for two years and I believe it provides more depth to my passion for teaching. Anyway, the best that can happen is they read it, the worst? They throw it away.</p>

<p>I'm wondering how I go about sending it in though. I'll mail it to the office of admissions, but do I put my SSN on the letterhead or the envelope? Should my supplemental rec'er sign the seal of the envelope like teachers do? Questions...questions.</p>

<p>My S had 3 suppl recs (one from his Drama reacher, one from his community theatre director, and one form a Columbua alum who spke of his "fit"). Eachbone sent separately by the recommender, and each signed the seal.</p>

<p>Did he put his SSN on the envelope or the rec?</p>

<p>Each recommender out my S's SSN# and high school name in parentheses right after his name in the first paragraph ofthe letter.</p>

<p>I already got recs which signed seal. But there are only my boy's name without SSN and School name. Should I request again? May I mail by myself by using larger envelop which including SSN and School name?</p>

<p>I think the latter (mail yourself in larger envelope with SSN# and high school included) should be fine. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
