Hmmm, I met with the program director during my away, again at the interview, and again during the second look. Then I sent them a lengthy thank you note saying how much I love their program. Plus, I had someone from my school call on my behalf telling them I'm ranking them number one. Today I sent them another email telling them they are #1 and attached some pictures of my vacation!
Just kidding. But someone at my school is seriously doing all of the above.....for medicine, of all things. I don't think emailing them is considered weird or poor form, especially when you know there are people like my classmate out there.........
