Thank-you baked goods for interviewers

[meep15]

Is is appropriate to bring some delicious baked goods (specifically, a banana-chocolate bread) as a "Thank You" to interviewers (at a school where I've already been accepted)? I am going to their second look and wanted to bring something beyond my Thank You card.

In one interview, we'd talked tangentially about my interest in cooking/nutrition and how it related to health (preventative medicine etc), so it's not completely out of the blue, but I just don't want to cross any boundaries or anything.

Only if you bring poison muffins to interviewers at schools that rejected you. Fair's fair

 

[wanderingorion]

Eh, a little over the top IMO.

 

[Astra]

that moment when they have an allergy and you trigger a reaction.

 

[Goro]

Don't. Just don't.

Reward them by being a good student and colleague.

Sounds delicious... send some my way!

But, I also vote 'no' to sending any to your interviewers.

 

[Frogger27]

Your intentions are great, but please don't do this. Don't be that person.

 

[blackroses]

I'm sad to see the general consensus of "no" here. Sending a few cookies to my interviewers would have been a great excuse for me to make a batch of my favorite cookies and eat all the ones I don't send out.

 

[Matthew9Thirtyfive]

No. It's inappropriate (IMHO), and how do you know they will like them? If you brought me banana-chocolate bread, it'd probably end up in the trash or with the first homeless guy I see.

 

[sullen-burger]

I just want to be clear that although we all think you have a good heart, this would make you a weirdo. Don't be a weirdo.

 

[LizzyM]

Wait and bring your delicious baked goods to your group study sessions. They will be a hit. Medical students are always hungry.

 

[Doctor Strange]

Please do not do this.

Wait, is bringing thank you notes to second look weekends actually a thing? I sent thank you notes to my interviewers right after the interview and was planning on a card for my student host during second look, but not for my interviewers.

good single malt scotch would be appreciated

 

[Dr_Grabow]

Keep in mind, that acceptance is conditional. You wouldn't want to spoil it by someone getting a bad taste in their mouth.

Literally or figuratively?

perhaps they are looking for Brownie Points

Pappy or go home.

Meep15 is just trying to be the apple of the adcom's eye I fear.

Now about your bad taste, that all depends on whether or not these were baked goods made with good haste or with a good baste.

Honestly, I think a card eggplaining her appreciation would be fine.

just dont get egg on your face for doing so

I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's all just icing anyway.

That could be taken as a rather frosty reply. But I suppose you cant have your cake and eat it too

Maybe, but the meat of the application has already been done. There's nothing really leaft to stress about.

Then it is time for just desserts

Napa chardonnays for the CA schools, except Loma Linda.

Can confirm.

 

[flapjack3d]

Can confirm. Am banana.

ftfy.

They're amazing though

 

[Matthew9Thirtyfive]

Or they're not. Google "false-consensus effect."

[DokterMom]

If you stay overnight with med students, bringing some for them would be more appropriate.

Taking a step back from all of the delicious puns, is there any reason to be bringing another thank you note to second look? Say it ain't so, feels like even that would be a bit much (not to say I don't feel like running into the admissions office every day and hugging their legs for accepting me)....

It's been said a few times on here that thank you notes are not expected.

OP is just trying to be a good egg

But if he does it, he may come off as a crepe, or some kind of weirdough

You can dish It out, but you can't take it

 

[Saifa]

glad we could hash this out in a civil fashion

 

[sullen-burger]

Guys guys guys....


Let's all just simmer down.

This conversation is boiling over and there's nothing you can do to stop it.

 

[Dr. Stalker]

Idea: Bring them edibles instead. Imagine seeing the deans and admissions staff stoned AF?

BTW, you'd probably get expelled for doing this. Just a thought, though.

Yeah! Nothing to get steamed about though. Guoda to keep this civil.

This is getting too cheesy for me

 

[Endoxifen]

I agree. I worcestershire I'd never let it get this far.

 

[Matthew9Thirtyfive]

Hey, that pun was grate. But it's time to get serious. We need to answer this question Caerphilly.

I'm not sure this thread was ever on a topic.
