After interviews, we sent out thank you letters immediately. Some interviewers replied, some did not. Does no reply indicate anything? or its just they are too busy to reply. Thanks!
Read nothing into it either way. Etiquette does not require a thank you for a thank you. If you got one, great.
Meaningless. You’ll probably even see that some interviewers will send hand written notes. This is all standard practice, but it doesn’t mean anything either way.
Don’t get fooled by electronic or handwritten Christmas or Holiday Cards. These too are meaningless, just trying to keep potential candidates interested. You can’t read the tea leaves necessarily because they sent a holiday card. Tis the season…
Gee- I sent a bushel full of oranges to each AO and boxes of chocolate - is that ok? Maybe I should also send tea leaves? Maybe I can start a care-package service for AO/s? I do like the holiday songs on Instagram.
(Ok how long for someone to believe I sent oranges ~O)
@Golfgr8 Had you not also said boxes of chocolates I would’ve totally bought it, at least for a little longer 
@AppleNotFar thanks for understanding my sense of humor ^:)^
I’m sure gifts are sent to AOs and Admissions offices from parents and alumni. Wonder if it helps for legacy applicants.
We sent no gifts and no notes/cards etc. to AOs, not even after interviews. AppleKid emailed thanks after interviews but no holiday messages.
Oh man…and here we were just washing their cars…note for round two, Harry and David on auto-ship!
Do any GLADCHEMS schools send out handwritten Christmas cards usually?
ya i got a couple but it doesn’t mean anything it just says that the AO’s remember you or that they’re cool people
DA in particular sends them.
We got about a dozen (even though we are so far, only applying to 3-4 schools). Most had short, generic but handwritten messages. A couple had long messages that referenced specific topics covered in the interview. We are reading nothing into it…
I️ got a few snail mail Christmas cards, but I️ got emails from every school except one that I️ inquired at.
