I've heard that it is unneccesary and improper to bake thank-you cakes after an interview for dental school. What are your impressions? Did you send any? Are you planning on sending any?

^you're kidding, right?

i have NEVER heard of someone doing that--that seems wayyy too brown-nosing. not to mention, do you really think the admins office people will eat them? if i worked in the admins office and someone sent homemade cakes...i'm sorry, but i wouldn't eat them. it's a sick and weird world out there, i wouldn't eat something that could potentially have poison in it. who knows if it's really from who it says it's from, or if it's from someone else who has a grudge?

just send a card, and that is enough. it's just like interviews for college--a short, simple thank you card will suffice. but baking cakes is too extreme. it's a sweet gesture, but inappropriate unless if you are really close to that person.

heck, why not go the whole mile and send them a stuffed turkey.

I like to send them money. Nothing says thank you like a clean, crisp one hundred dollar bill.

 

[oldboy]

why do they call it brown nosing? At some point in time was it flattering to
shove your nose up someone's butt? The smell of crap on the end of your nose couldn't have been too pleasing either. Maybe it is just another level beyond kissing someone's derrier. Either way, i'd much rather recieve a Cnote than the latter.

Are you mocking me?

 

[food4thots]

i think synape is trying to be funny.. ha ha..

 

[oldboy]

alright, keep the $100, write a thank you card, and smear your own **** on your nose. Who said you can't have your cake and eat it too?

 

[RnB7]

hmm so if u apply to let's say 15 schools and get interviews from all of them...then that's a lot of cake to give out

 

[Comet208]

You all are more than welcome to send the thank-you cakes my way. Send me a PM for mailing address.

HAHAHAHA this is just pure douchebaggery.

This thread is totaly necessary. I'm learning a lot of professional etiquets from ya'all. 🙂

It works best if you can mold the cake into a crude outline of a tooth. Fluoridated frosting is a nice touch too. 👍

It's proper if you know how to bake a cake. Just make sure admissions committees get your cakes before December 1st. Don't forget to write your AADSAS ID on your thank-you cakes. You want them to know who you are. 😉 Good luck. 🙂

 

[ramona_k]

Are any of the Admission committee people kind enough to let us know if they prefer chocolate or fruit cake??!

Yes, i love this thread.
After my next interview, i'll invite my interviewer to have some thank you beer with me at a local bar and totally crash out with him/her.
And then we will go and watch a thank you movie.
That should leave a lasting impression.

 

[SuperC]

A thank you movie???? You gotta love that!!!!

 

[food4thots]

well.. if u can't bake a cake... u can always tell ur rich dad or someone to make a decent sized "donation" to the school.. that usually seems to work.

Ha, I was expecting to scroll down and see this thread closed, but its not! I say a nice big bear hug and a slap on the ass after the interview will def get you a shoe-in. 👍
