<p>wealthchaser (really hope your name isn’t accurate), have you read this thread? Please review post #11.</p>
<p>With all due respect T26E4, I think you and falcon are being a little harsh on EM. In fact, this whole argument has gotten out of control. </p>
<p>I agree with EM that sending a thank you note can be a little bit excessive. It’s not wrong, but it’s definitely not necessary. A warm expression of gratitude for the interviewer’s time at the end of a meeting should be more than enough.</p>
<p>It’s a bit annoying to deal with, I requested a name change a lot of times :(</p>

<p>When you’re looking for a job, it’s absolutely necessary to write thank you notes. It’s a great way to touch base, remind them of your interest, allows you to ask more questions that may not have come to you during the interview, let’s you once again express your desire and passion for the job, and keeps your name on the front burner. So, why not start now and write a thank you note after your college interview? After all, you don’t want your first thank you note to be after your first job interview!</p>
<p>@AJ11 Sorry you feel we’re being harsh on EM. T26E4, myself, and scores of others like us are spending a good portion of our lives finding ways to give back to our schools. It is difficult to sit back and have the work we’re doing be marginalized (with smugness) by someone who hasn’t even finished high school yet and so couldn’t possibly relate to the sense of pride we feel in our schools or know the motivations we have for doing what we’re doing. One day, you may understand where we’re coming from if you choose to get involved with your college after you’ve graduated.</p>
<p>With respect to your view on thank you notes, I believe T26E4, a veteran interviewer, would not disagree with what you have written so I guess you’re good to go. I, however, think that it is good form to always follow up with a note. I was going to say that my daughter wrote a handwritten note to her Harvard interviewer and she was later accepted - just to see the notepads come flying out but I realized I’m on the Yale forum :)</p>
<p>@gibby Makes sense. I’ll keep that in mind for the future. </p>
<p>@falcon1 Haha, I bet many notepads (and possibly baking pans?) were still put to use.</p>
