How are people sending their thank-yous to programs after an interview?
Also, is anyone getting a response to these thank-yous?
My experience: A few days after the interview I send an email to the program director and administrative coordinator, thanking them and the other faculty and staff. Possibly also one or two to someone I particularly enjoyed meeting. Usually I don't get much of a response ("Nice to meet you. Period.") or no response at all. I wonder if this means anything with regard to ranking or the impression left during the interview.
