For people sent thank you letters, did you send them to the admissions office or something else? Thanks!

i sent them to the school name=school of pharmacy, attention: interviewer's name. otherwise, you can go the website and look up faculty information, and see if the interviewer or whoever else has a specific mailbox number.

i think it would be a good idea to send one to both. Let the admissions office know that you appreciated their time and effort. Not so much that it would help with your decision, because it most likely wouldnt, but its just a nice thing to do. Im sure they get thank yous all the time. However, im sure it never gets old for them to open their email and see that someone was grateful that they took time out of their schedule to show you the school and inteview you.

Whenever I go to an interview I try to collect the business cards of everybody I have any contact with during the process and they all get a Thank You email, in additional to the generic admissions office email. Most don't reply, but many do send very nice replies so I'm sure they really appreciate it. It may not help any but they do put a lot of time and effort in to the process and probably don't get much recognition for it. Plus, it's just a nice, professional thing to do. Then again, if they are on the fence about you, it could be an extra show of professionalism and enthusiasum that could seal the deal.

I would say that e-mailing would be the best route. It would reduce the risk of the card getting lost in the mail and they will get it faster and have time to reflect on it. Like mentioned before, if they were having any double thoughts it would seal the deal so the sooner the better.

Yes, I wrote thank you cards to each of my interviewers, the person from the admissions committee that I had been in contact with throughout the admissions process, and the dean of the pharmacy school that spoke at the beginning of our mandatory candidate visit. I also agree that it shows professionalism and thoughtfulness. Make sure you remember people's names and find a way to stand out at the interview so that they will make the connection when they receive your letter. It might not help out as much if they don't remember your face. Just some of my advice that may have sealed the deal for me.
