1) You can attach the document to your online application - go to “Writing Supplements” and scroll down to the box that says “Additional Info”.

2) Yes and no. Most schools want letters in sealed envelopes so they know that students haven’t read or tampered with them. However, notice that on the recommendation forms there’s a box where you can choose to release the right to read your rec. Colleges hang on to old files, so if you check “no”, you could theoretically go back and read your rec once you get in.

3) You could ask your teachers to give you the letter in a regular envelope, unstamped and unaddressed, with a signature across the seal. Make sure you know which recs are in which envelopes. Then you can mail them yourself in seven big envelopes.
