MMI Thank you notes?

[Emh_omega-323]

Hi, I've got my first interview tomorrow, an in person MMI. I'm generally reading thank you notes are not necessary for an MMI but some people send general thank you notes to the admissions office for arranging. I'd love to hear any adcoms thoughts on if there is actually any benefit to doing this. It seems likely to be so generic it just comes across as "extra" and a little awkward.

Thoughts?

Please don't.

Don't. Just don't

Thanks! Am I correct then in my assumption that the only appropriate place for a thank you in the interview cycle is a personalized email to the interviewer after a one-on-one?

Depending on the school, even this is neither necessary nor advisable.

It's nice to be courteous and express appreciation to the staff. Benefit? Not on decisions. Read the archives posts on the topic.

Interesting. How do I know whether or not a school is one of these?

Don't waste your time or theirs unless your mama taught you to be polite
