[quote=Anonymous]After our four interviews we sent "thank you and why DC would be a great fit for "X" school" emails (we didn't send handwritten letters through snail mail). I sent to each person directly who interviewed us, I remembered the name of the parent who gave us the parent tour after the interview/mentioned them and things we talked about and I noted things about our time on campus during either the interview and/or open days etc.

Once we made our firm, final decision on first choice we sent another letter to just the one school, head of admissions, letting them know we were committing first choice, reminding them of DC, why it would be a great fit for DC and our family etc.

I think it's very important. Our head of 6th grade/outplacement at former school told, not asked, everyone to do this and then inform her of our first choice school so she could further advocate our kids into those schools.

The time between the interviews/thank you emails and the first choice email: months based on how long the process is. So it's not like I felt the school thought I was inundating them. [/quote]
