<p>I had an interview early November and I forgot to send a thank you letter/email. Consequences if any and what should I do??</p>
<p>there are no consequences whatsoever. it's a courtesy, but the interviewer will not mark you off on their report just because you didn't send a thank you letter.</p>
<p>it's a little too late to send one now...just sit back, and know that if you get deferred or rejected, it wasn't because of this :P</p>
<p>thanks. I still feel bad though because my interviewer was really nice. He really wanted the interview to go well =(</p>
<p>Yeah, I totally suck at remembering to do stuff like that.
Why can't I just sincerely thank my interviewer when we part ways, and let that be that?</p>
<p>Obviously I wouldn't care if I was your interviewer, and I'm pretty sure that he wasn't sitting on the edge of his seat waiting for a thank-you note, so you're probably fine. :)</p>
<p>I sent a thank you email since he asked me to send something anyway.</p>
<p>No big. It's okay!</p>
<p>No worries, if your interviewer really wanted the interview to go well, then it probably did. Your not sending a thank you card/email won't affect that. :)</p>
<p>If you are EA, it would be fine to write the interviewer after results are posted on Monday and tell him how things turned out for you. The note would never have made a difference on whether or not you are accepted, but this is someone in your community to whom you still owe thanks, so better late than never, and you will have an excuse to communicate on Monday.</p>
<p>So riverrunner, it's okay to contact your interview to let them know your decision (if you got accepted)? It's not tacky or whatever?</p>
<p>riverrunner i like your idea</p>
<p>My parents made me send my interviewer a thank you email, and I'm glad they did because I would've felt bad if I never got back to her... I don't think it really matters though.</p>
<p>riverrunner's idea is nice</p>
<p>I was actually planning on calling my interviewer and telling him =)</p>
<p>I ran in to my D's interviewer a few weeks after Dec 15th last year. I told him she had been admitted, and he said that he had heard the news (and to pass on his congratulations.) I think Yale notifies their interviewers about who they've admitted, but it would still be very appropriate and kind of you to write a brief note, whether or not you are admitted. Life is very long, and I always believe in doing the small, nice things that leave people with a positive feeling. As a dear friend of mine says, "every day is a job interview."</p>
<p>my interviewer told me that they receive decisions before we do!</p>
