<p>When you send an essay in to a college by mail... do you staple the sheets together? Each of my pages are numbered and contain my full name, town, and state, but I'm so worried that they're going to get separated. On the other hand, I think the adcom would rather shuffle through the stack of papers than flip the page. Argh! Middlebury is making me mail mine in, hence the dilemma.</p>
<p>Use a paper clip. Dilemma solved.</p>
<p>Does one have to include town and state? I just put my name and SSN??</p>
<p>Your name and SSN should be sufficient. It just has to be enough information so they know it's you.</p>
<p>Thanks guys! Stupid question of the day resolved...</p>
<p>Should I put my SSN on each page? I guess it would help them identify me better.</p>
<p>It's best to put all identification info on each page (Name, SSN, birthday)</p>
