<p>My son received an acceptance via E-mail yesterday (yay!) and he will definitely be going (as it was ED)... would it be appropriate to respond with a "Thank You" via E-mail to the notification (which will be followed up by an actual letter in the USPS mail)? It seems like it would be a common courtesy to respond with one... what do all of you think?</p>
<p>Go ahead... there's nothing wrong with saying a Thank you! :)</p>
<p>Well if the email was automated, I don't even know if they'll see the reply... it's the thought that counts though! worth a try</p>
