Is this something that is common to do? I had never even thought about it, or heard of it before my last interview where someone asked "is it okay if we send thank you emails to our interviewers?" The speaker knew what she was talking about and said that the school accepts them. How many people...

Please help my all my pharmacy friends. I don't know what to choose. What would you each choose? Which is a better career move? 1. Money wise - the staffing director position is 40k extra per year - I'm concerned that it is not really a director job but really a staffing job with...

Hello everyone. This is my first post on SDN, and I have some concerns in regards to where I should be as a premed student. I am far from a traditional pre-med student, with being back in school is a relatively new thing. I returned to college just two years ago, and despite doing terrible in...

hey guys, So I’ve read that some people recommend sending thank you letters to the interviewers post-interview.. I never even thought about doing this. Am I the only one who hasn’t done this?

I recently interviewed at a school, and I was given a specific email for interviewed applicants to send thank you notes (to admissions, not interviewers) and updates. Is it appropriate to thank admissions for giving me the opportunity to interview with my interviewers, and then in a later...

I was recently listed as an alternate at Creighton. My friend said it would be a good idea to write a thank you letter. Note, I haven't been interviewed or anything yet. Is this a good idea? What should I even say?

hey, what kind of thank you cards do you all suggesting sending? I found a few really nice ones, but I did feel like they were too casual (one of them had a really funny joke about medicine, but it was a get well soon card :-(...) I found another one that had a cartoon character on it which I...
