<p>I sent an email to a school I'm applying to asking if they received all my materials and a question about a scholarship. They answered me, and I was wondering if I should send them an email thanking them for their response, or if they would probably rather their inbox not be cluttered. It's a pretty small school.</p>
<p>If it’s a small school and they aren’t completely overwhelmed with emails, I’m sure they would appreciate a small expression of gratitude. I would say go ahead and thank them!</p>
<p>Agreed. A quick thank you is nice and will take what, ten seconds to read?</p>
<p>Thanks! I tend to overthink these things.</p>
<p>No problem! I tend to do the same thing.</p>
