<p>Hey gus, are you thanking the teachers and counselor who wrote your recommendation letter? I'm asking because I wanted to but no one else in my school is so now I'm confused. If you are, what are you giving? and when? lol Like now, or when you find out about finalist status, or even for RD, if you dont get matched. </p>
<p>I was thinking maybe $25 gift cards. With a note of course. Is that ok?</p>
<p>I was thinking of waiting to see which school I decide to go to and then writing them a hand written letter thanking them for all their help and telling them what your final choice was. Then including some souvenirs from the school ( shirt/coffee mug/key-chains) and maybe candy or something to remember you by.</p>
<p>They can’t accept money in the way of a gift card ethically. A personal note thanking them goes a long way and a coffee mug from the school when you come home and visit would be a lot more cherished by any professional.</p>
