Don’t use novelty envelopes or paper.

March 26, 2008 · Filed Under Incredibly Dumb Mistakes 

I’ve already covered the type of paper and envelopes you should use for your application, so if you’ve read this far, you can consider this a review. Just so we’re clear, though: you should save the Hello Kitty envelopes and sparkly pink paper – or the NASCAR stationery with “In Loving Memory of #3” envelopes — for personal correspondence.

    Couldn’t this be considered as a way to “Beat the Stack”?

    Hi, Lauren. You could certainly see it that way, but my recommendation is not to. You want to stand out in a way that’s not negative, and you don’t want to get your essay tossed or give it a poor impression because of what would be considered an unprofessional appearance. Good question, though. Thanks! Hope to hear more from you.

    Best,
    Josh
