<p>Do schools (specifically Cornell, Johns Hopkins, and Northwestern) care which size envelope (big yellow envelopes or normal size envelopes) you use for admissions documents (ie letters of rec, application components…etc)?</p>
<p>you aren’t going to get rejected over it, but the rationale behind having a large envelope is that your papers won’t get folded, crumpled, etc. It’s all about making a good impression, so I’d go for the big envelope unless you have a good reason for it.</p>
<p>hehehe… i was wandering…too…</p>
<p>last time this person from UPENN admission office left a post begging ppl not to send in small normal sized envelopes since they don’t really stay flat on top of the applications…</p>
<p>but since they don’t specify what size the envelopes should be…(unlike stanford which specifically tells you to use 8x11 sized envelope…) i don’t think it really matters…</p>
<p>I used 9x11. But really, from what I hear they just throw the envelope. Which is a waste of paper, but nobody questions the College.</p>
