<p>Two of my interviewers gave me their contact information in case I had any other questions, to let them know if I get in, etc. Should I take this as an invitation to send them a thank you email now, and then contact them again after I get my decision? Or should I just do it later this April?</p>
<p>Also, if they gave me their physical address, would it be better to mail them a note/letter?</p>
<p>Send the thank-you note immediately after the interview. You’re thanking them for your time, not for getting you in. The same is true for when you should give your GC and teachers a thank-you note:After the GC and teachers send your recommendations.</p>
<p>After you get accepted to colleges, let your GC know and let interviewers know who interviewed you for those colleges.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice. What if I have no way to contact the other interviewers, though? And I thought it might be a better idea to contact them in a few days since I did thank them pretty vigorously as we were about to leave and I don’t want to be excessive. </p>
<p>Also, about the teachers: the two that I asked for recommendations won’t be at school for the rest of the year so I guess the only way to contact them would be to ask the department heads to forward my message. Since I can’t see them in person, I’m kind of worried that it would be intrusive if I sent them a letter now and then another one in two months.</p>
<p>If you don’t know their work or home address, you can always send a thank-you to interviewers c/o the college’s admissions office.</p>
<p>You also can send a thank-you to the teachers at school. The school more than likely will forward it to the teachers’ home address.</p>
<p>It’s considered courteous, not excessive or stalkerish to send written thank-you notes under the circumstances we’re discussing.</p>
<p>90% of the effectiveness of a thank you note is in the timing. Promptness is key. A TY note sent two weeks after an interview will hardly be seen as full of gratitude, more like a duty reluctantly fulfilled. (This also applies to cases of gifts, dinner parties, and other favours.)</p>
<p>Alright, I’ll try to send them as soon as possible. Thanks.</p>
<p>What about this though
I was thinking emailing them now, then sending them a letter when I get the decision. Would that be a good idea?</p>
<p>Personally I always thought it seemed somewhat awkward to send the thank you as soon as I got home. If I send by email, I wait until the next day or so. If I go by mail, I make sure it gets there with the next 3 or 4 days.</p>
<p>Some schools have common practices surrounding gifts. Here, most thank you gifts are given to recommending teachers during the weeks before December exams, around the holidays. If your school has a common gift giving time, you can wait until then.</p>
<p>What if your interviewer didn’t provide you any contact information?</p>
