Is it better to actually send them a handwritten card or just email?
What did you guys do?

a couple of handwritten cards most of the time.

I remember I sent a Mickey-mouse card to NOVA(FL)

However, I sent thank you e-mail in reply to thank you interview e-mail that was sent from a school immediately after my interview at the school.

To other staffs of that school, I sent handwritten cards, though.

One school sends thank-you interview e-mail after interview.


It depends on situations!

I sent typewritten letters or handwritten cards via snailmail. I think it adds more of a positive personal touch than email. It is easier to ignore an email in an already cluttered in-box than it is to ignore a physical piece of mail in one's mailbox or on one's desk.

Depends on the school. NYU only gives out the e-mails of the interviewers, so I sent them an e-mail. Michigan has 10 interviewers so I didn't send anything. Other schools, I might send an e-mail or a thank you card, depending on what they give you.

I think it's good either way. They will read all e-mails and letters, they aren't going to ignore your e-mail, they will get it. It's a nice gesture.
