<p>what do you say besides thank you?
"i enjoyed this conversation about ____?"</p>
<p>i don't want to sound fake and abnormal, but it feels empty without writing stuff that we talked about in a formal matter.</p>
<p>Maybe it would help if people take an actual stab at a real thank you note? Better not copy what's here word for word, though (or even in spirit - it depends upon the personality of the interviewer, and the way the interview actually went)!</p>
<p>Dear Mr. Comprehensive U,</p>
<p>I enjoyed our lunch this afternoon, and appreciate the time you took to meet with me. I already loved Comprehensive U after my visit to Cowville in October, but hearing more about the school from an alumni's perspective was really helpful. It was amazing to hear that you still stay in touch with one of your professors from time to time - twenty years after graduating! I was also excited to hear about the quality of the business faculty, and that on Comprehensive U's gorgeous, rural campus a student can receive one of the best undergraduate marketing educations available anywhere. Thank you again, and best of luck to your daughter Jane with her oceanography fellowship.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>

<p>Spidey.. excellent note.. and it will surely be making the rounds at all alumni interviewers.</p>
<p>Last spring we were doing senior recognition for the seniors and their parents of one sport. We decided that it would be nice if the players wrote a note for their parents, but after a day or so of "what do I write?" I wrote a sample note similar to the above. At the end I wrote, <insert something="" here="" that="" would="" make="" your="" mother="" cry=""> as a joke/plea for something meaningful. One boy copied the note so verbatim and paid suck little attention to what he was writing, that he wrote exactly that! What a goof, but we all got a really good laugh about it.</insert></p>
<p>What about if we don't know the interviewer's address ,etc? Would email be appropriate?</p>
<p>LOL! That's a funny story, Modadunn!</p>
<p>Perhaps when the interview is scheduled you could ask the admissions office for a contact address to send a thank you note? Also, if you know someone who went to the school, the address would be in the alumni directory.</p>
<p>If you don't have an address, and can't get it by finding the person's home or work address in the phone book, send the thank-you c/o the school's admissions office.</p>
<p>She sent me her address :) So do we write it on a card (do they even sell cards for interview thank yous?!) or do we just write it like a letter?</p>
<p>You can write it on a blank card, and write it like a letter.</p>
<p>ooh okay. Thank you so much!</p>
