F irst class?
Yes, definitely definitely yes.
The postal clerk prints a label, stamps the thick envelope, and tosses it into a bin. As the envelope lands on its side, one corner folds back. The customer winces, looks away, and then looks again. Excuse me, you wrinkled my envelope.
No, the postal clerk doesnt describe the many machines the envelope will pass through before it arrives at its destination. Nor does he point out all that can go wrong with this particular letter, including jammed gears and misplaced mailbags. Instead, he glances at the address and smiles sympathetically. College application? he asks, gently repositioning the envelope on top of the pile.
When you send that all-important application to a college, grad school, or scholarship committee, you probably wont ask the post office to deliver your envelope without wrinkles, as one of my students did. But I bet you sympathize with her panic! These days more and more applicants vie for the same number of slots at top schools. Yet much of the application process from the way the post office delivers the mail to the way the application is viewed is out of your hands. You cant, for instance, predict how your qualifications mesh with the needs of your preferred university. If youre a tuba player and the college orchestra is desperate for bassoonists, you may be out of luck when acceptance letters are sent out. And by the time youre filling in little blanks on the application form with a list of your courses and activities, you cant do much to improve your school record.
