<p>My dad, a Princeton grad, wrote me a supplementary rec for Princeton. Last week, he recieved a signed note for the dean of admissions thanking him for his "good letter" and letting him know that decisions will we sent out in mid-december. </p>
<p>Is this normal, for Princeton to send out thank you notes to people that wrote reccomendations? Is it simply because he is an alumus? Is this a good sign for me?</p>
<p>It cant be a bad sign...</p>
<p>Danman, are you on the ED list? We only need a couple more for 100! If you did go ED to Princeton and you're not on the list, sign yourself up!</p>
<p>lol jon. ~</p>
<p>wow, you had your dad write you a letter?</p>
<p>no my mom got one of those letters as well (she is not a princeton alumnus) for writing a supplementary rec.</p>
<p>haha poo my dad never got one and he wrote me one.</p>
<p>what do those letters say? I wondering if my boss received one (he never mentioned it)</p>
<p>none of my teachers ever received them either.
I did hear a few people on this forum mention in another thread that some of their teachers got one.</p>
<p>hm.. i didn't know about this :</p>
<p>those exact words: "good letter" ?</p>
<p>schools ALWAYS write thank you notes to alumni who write recommendations. they want to make sure that the people who give them money feel special. so I wouldn't analyze this too much, although i am VERY jealous of your legacy status.</p>
<p>do they send letters to important people such as a head of a national organization? or only to alumi?</p>
