I had an interview several weeks ago. It went well - I thought I was well liked by the interviewer,etc... but it just occurred to me today that I completely forgot to write him a thank you note. I am fortunate enough to already have an acceptance and actually wasn't too fond of the school anyway, so I wonder if I should just let it slide.

I'm curious if anyone has been accepted without writing a thank you note to their interviewer? I mean, honestly, does it really matter?

I did for some and did not for others, it didn't make a difference.

Out of 5 schools I've heard from:

3 acceptances and 1 waitlist, without writing thank you notes.
1 waitlist, with thank you note written day after the interview.

In short, I don't think it matters.

I don't think it matters at all. I've still gotten acceptances from schools even though I did not send them thank you letters. And I've been waitlisted at schools that received thank you letters.

Doesn't matter. some schools encourage you not to send them. They all know you're thankful for the interview ;-)

I've never wrote a thank you note. I mean, as nice it was that they took 15-30 minutes out of their day to interview me, I spent much more $$ and time for interviewing. I don't think it makes a difference and part of me just rebels at having to write a note for people when the majority of the time and effort came from me.

That being said, I wrote long, hardwritten, personalized thank you notes to each of my Recommendation writers. I think the thank you note has its place...just not in the interviewing process.

Of course it does not matter. How could they allow people into the medical field just because they wrote a thank you note. I personally think its just "but kissing." I got acceptance without thank you note.

2 acceptances, I have written no thank you notes to interviewers.
