<p>We visited 8 schools and when we were done, we had narrowed it down to five. As of today, my daughter has received 4 Christmas cards from her interviewers...three from the schools that we'd eliminated, and one from the school we're thinking of as a safety. Does this mean that she's not on the top of the heap at her top three schools?! Has anyone else been thinking about this?</p>
<p>No. At least I don't think so. Some schools send christmas cards, some send a letter from the heads of some department, like music and art (automatic list) some interviewers send post cards. Some schools just don't because they have loads of people applying.</p>
<p>You're being paranoid. Different schools do different things. Relax and don't overthink every little piece of mail that you get or you'll worry yourself sick until March 10th.</p>
<p>I've gotten some very friendly letters from many schools as well, but my guess is that they are very generic. I think some schools just have a policy to send them out, and some do not. I wouldn't worry about it. Most of the ones I've received are exceptionally kind, but you can tell there is a pre-written format.</p>
<p>Dear <strong><em>,
Have wonderful holidays, I hope you enjoyed visiting _</em></strong><strong><em>. I really had a good time discussing _</em></strong>____ with you. Have fun,
________.</p>
<p>I was really pleased that they took the time to write them out, but I'm not stressing over some interviewers not doing so. :D Hope that helped!</p>
<p>Schools either send everyone a card or send no one a card. I got two format and one hand written personal card. The hand written was really great... It has influenced my decision and they have moved up on my list by a few spots.</p>
<p>none of the schools I'm applying for (except for one, who sent me an ecard saying that they were glad I was applying to their school, etc.) sent me cards, ecard, hand written cards, letters, nothing. Never heard from my interviewers after the interviews...</p>
<p>I only received one which was my top choice, but the others, I haven't probably because I'm interviewing them today and I haven't turned in any applications.</p>
<p>I received quite a number of emails and cards from 5 of 7 of the schools I'm applying to, I didn't look too much into any of them and responded light heartedly to everyone. It was rather a coincidence that some of the schools where I thought I didn't interview as well didn't send me a thing or respond to my emails. Then again I'm not too bothered by it since there's tons of people applying.</p>
<p>No cards or e-mails or handwritten stuff means anything. No matter how personal it may sound.</p>
<p>So if they were to say: "You are accepted" It would mean nothing? </p>
<p>Sorry had to do it ;) happy holidays</p>
<p>Well I haven't even sent in my apps yet so probably lol.</p>
