<p>And now it looks really strange, because it looks fake. How big of an issue is this? Should I send them an email to let them know? Or is it no big deal and they probably get thousands of tapes that are flipped every year?</p>
<p>I don’t think anybody would imagine it to be fake, but this isn’t good for sure. Unless you are a vocal performance major, faculty will be looking at your hands, arms and general body movements. It will probably be confusing for them, and they might wonder why wouldn’t you fix it before sending it. Also, just as a rule, I would not ask that sort of question by e-mail. If they think it’s a big deal or it’s unprofessional, then they’ll have a name to remember. If they think it’s nothing and appreciate your concern, you can always send in a thank you e-mail for their time, help etc…</p>
