Applying to College

<p>I'm using the Liberty Bell Forever stamp on my teacher recommendations, but I don't know how many I should use for them in a 9x12 envelope.</p>

<p>Some things that might help:
current address: CA 94404</p>

<p>prospective college addresses:
Durham, NC 27708 (duke)
Ithaca, NY 14850 (cornell)
Baltimore, MD 21218 (johns hopkins)
Needham, MA 02492-1200 (franklin w. olin)</p>

<p>My friend's also sending his from CA 94404 to Stanford, CA 94305-6106 using the same size envelope and stamps; how many should he use? THANKS!</p>

<p>we were told to put one on recommendation letter envelopes</p>

<p>are you sure? I thought # stamps was based on distance from destination, size of package, and weight.</p>

4

<p>I'm putting two on each, just to be safe.</p>

<p>Are you an international?</p>

<p>For recommendations, it's just one or two pieces of paper in an envelope. And I wasn't under the impression that distance mattered at all. They just put it in the mail. 42 cent stamp or w/e you need. There is no other cost unless you have to do first class or something. Or it's a box, or a portfolio package thing.</p>

<p>I don't understand why you don't just go to your local post office and ask them. They would know moreso than anyone online.</p>

<p>It's 42 cents for a letter (1oz or less) sent first class anywhere in the us (including alaska and hawaii)</p>

<p>I'm sending my recommendations and transcripts together first class insured.</p>
