One of the schools I interviewed at said that if we wanted to send thank you notes, we should send them in via email. I wrote to them, but email got bounced and fell in my spam folder somehow. Interview was about 2 weeks ago but I did not notice until now. Is it too late to send the notes?

Also should you send in thank you notes for mmi interviews? Who would you address it to?

1) it is extremely unlikely a thank you note will have any effect on your status if you interviewed two weeks ago. However, if you genuinely want to thank your interviewers, you should send them a note.

2) I would advise against writing notes to MMI interviewers. Usually thank you notes have a personal touch.

1) Sending it now is fine. It will have no more effect than it would have if sent a few hours after the interview, as assessments are filled out as soon as you leave a room. But sending one stills shows good manners. Be sure to mention something that will help trigger the interviewers memory of who you are.

2) You could address one to the admissions committee as a whole.
 
Send it in. U of F has a great thank you note template available on their website:

I sent mine about a week after to the Dean of Admissions & they said they will forward it to the admissions committee, so it's worth a shot. Do check to see if your school welcomes thank you notes, as some don't for MMI.
