After the interview -- a likely letter?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Whitman College

<p>Last Friday I had a phone interview with the transfer admission officer, Katie Deponty. I thought it went really well; we talked for thirty minutes (which I guess is long for a phone conversation). Today I got a letter in the mail that goes something like this:</p>

<p>Dear Pretzelbreaker,
It was a pleasure to speak with you on the telephone about your interest in Whitman College. I enjoyed learning about your academic background and your varied activities. <b>Based upon our conversation, I feel that Whitman could be an excellent place for you. ... Your academic record is impressive and demonstrates great promise for success at Whitman. </b> I look forward to discussing Whitman with you further.</p>

<p>Did anybody else receive something like this after an interview? Is this a generic follow-up? I've never had an interview for a school before, so I don't know how these things go. Any input would be much appreciated; don't want to get my hopes up.</p>

<p>Thanks y'all!</p>

<p>I received a strikingly similar letter after my phone interview. It's not a likely letter, it's just a Thank You letter.</p>

<p>But you got in, didn't you? (Congrats, by the way.) So there's no real way to know unless we hear of someone who got this letter and <em>didn't</em> get in.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input! Anybody else get one?</p>

<p>No problem!</p>

<p>I did get in, but at the time of my phone interview (12/14/07), I hadn't submitted my application yet. I actually wasn't even sure I was applying at that time. And I got the letter before I submitted my app. So I don't think it's a likely letter, but you're right, until someone who got rejected also says they got the letter, we won't know for sure.</p>

<p>But I'm pretty sure it's just customary to send a thank you note after an interview.</p>

<p>Good luck! Whitman is amazing.</p>
