Sorry, I just had to vent for a second, but I know there have been various threads on here about thank-you letters post-interview, and I have to say I just read the most obnoxious, kiss-assy letter I could have ever imagined. I can't believe people actually do this. Even my boss (a faculty interviewer for med school admissions) who usually blows stuff like that off, seemed embarrassed by it, embarrassed for the interviewee. I can't even begin to find the words to describe it -- it was simply the most obnoxious, silly piece of superficial, superfluous fluff, and completely unsubstantial. If this person is any indication of the general quality of my future peers and colleagues, that's it, I'm running away to go live on an isolated ranch and marry a cowboy. Take home point -- be genuine, be yourself.
