[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Side question -- when a student writes a thank you note, do the interviewers ever respond back to acknowledge?  Something as simple as "it was nice to meet you, and good luck."[/quote]

Is this still a thing? What do you say in your Thank You note?[/quote]

I'm an alumni interviewer. First of all, I am fairly sure that they almost always mean nothing except to screen for weirdos.

That being said, I expect a thank you e-mail. We set up the interview over the e-mail so they just have to reply - very easy. All I expect is "It was nice to meet you. I enjoyed discussing myself and your school. I remain very interested." Short and sweet is great. I usually hold off writing my review for 24 hours or so to see if I get a note or not. I would say I only get from about 50% which is truly sad. Especially for ED. I usually do not reply to the thank you - I probably should but I don't want to lead them on. Occasionally they will ask a question in the follow-up so I respond to that. Don't read into whether the interviewer responds to the thank you - it means nothing.[/quote]

How petty. Seniors are in the thick of the process and this would be a simple thing to overlook. Emailing right after would look neurotic and waiting a day might mean it slips because THIS YEAR IS CRAZY.

I interview and honestly don’t expect any follow up — for them it’s so fraught
