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.
Don’t use novelty envelopes or paper.

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
Pink paper and perfume got elle into harvard law
Elle was lucky in one way, nichole: she was fictional. XD
Haha, I suppose this answers my comment on another post.
Thank you.
