<p>Does it make any difference?</p>
<p>I mean, if teachers submit by post they can add like "Dear Cornell Admissions Officer, --- He will be a perfect match for Cornell".</p>
<p>Will it make any difference?</p>
<p>It makes absolutely no difference. Many teachers and even GCs are still submitting their forms by mail.</p>
<p>If you were Cornell, what reason on earth would you ascribe any benefit to the applicant of one over the other? </p>
<p>Think about it.</p>
<p>I will be applying for different majors. Applying for business undergrad primarily, but if school doesn’t have it I’m applying for Liberal Arts with major in either communication or something business-related (not economics, but commerce, entrepreneurship etc.)
The teachers can adjust the recs for different majors/schools if they submit via post.</p>

<p>swede: what are you looking for?</p>
<p>Someone to say: “Electronic transmission will give you a +50% chance of acceptance”???</p>
<p>C’mon. Use some common sense</p>
<p>Electronic transmission I assume will make sure your app is complete earlier, (and reviewed earlier) as opposed to waiting for someone in the office to match up the letter to your file. I also assume the colleges like electronic submission, since it is less work on their part. As to being penalized for mailing it in, I doubt that happens. But unless your teacher worked for Cornell previously or knows people personally in the admissions office, how much weight do they put into the “this student is perfect for X college” statements? I honestly don’t know, but have my opinion.
Good Luck!</p>
