I didnt' send any thank you notes and I got in. 😉
I did send them.
But here's the real deal: sending them is good manners, but that has NOTHING to do with you getting into dental school.
If you are getting accepted to dental school based on whether or not you sent a thank-you note, you don't want to go to that school. Trust me.

good point.
my interviewer specifically told me not to send any thank you notes...and i got in...
the dental school should send you a thank you note after you accept the interview for providing them with cheap labor for 2 years and exorbitant tuition for 4 years.
I wrote a thank you e-mail. It gets there way faster that way they're remember you.

What's a noob? (From the title of this thread)
Sounds funny.
Sounds funny.
to me, sending a thank you note is a proper form of etiquette. it also reminds you to mind your p's and q'a regarding professionalism...since this IS a professional field. my two cents is that some form of thank-you should be done whether phone, note, or email. it'll just get you started in the habit.

noob - someone who is new a newbie. someone who doesn't know anything. Rookie. etc.
First: Don't get all of your information from wikipedia. I've heard of dental students researching on it for dental school, and that is a laugh.
But, since newbie originated with the internet, I think the following link is appropriate:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newbie
I especially like the reference to its use in Scrubs:
"Doctor Cox in the TV show Scrubs continuously refers to his protége John Dorian (J.D) as "Newbie" as a way of breaking his spirits and constantly reminding him who's in charge."

exactly how i meant it. Scrubs Rulz 🙂
okay stephanie now why dont you shashay on out and send an email asap. GO GO GO!
Absolutely!!! I sent a carefully worded and thoughtful thank you note to each interviewer, as I hope you would if someone invites you over for dinner or lets you stay at your house. Why wouldn't you? No stamp? No money for cards? Just cut it out of posterboard if you have to. It takes a moment of your time, shows your maturity, etiquette and writing skills, and makes you feel better than you recognized someone for their efforts on your behalf.
Please search for the many threads on this topic, and you'll see that a lot recommend sending them!
