is it appropriate to send thank you notes via email?

I've done this, so it isn't completely off the table. I did follow this up by sending him a thank you note via US mail too. I would send a thank you e-mail to the interviewer if he/she provided you with their e-mail. IMO, it is a bit presumptuous to look up that person's e-mail on the internet and then e-mail them.

If it is any comfort, I was accepted to that school also.

i sent my thank you notes via email .. but only after the decision was made because I didn't want them to boost my chances and seem non-genuine

yea, i agree it's a little weird to look someone's email address up. My interviewer gave me his business card w/ email address, phone number, etc. good to hear it's acceptable though, thanks.

hmm i always send my thank you notes 2-3 days after the interview, while they are still fresh in my mind. is that against the norm?

If I wasn't on a massive interview trip (4 at one time because I'm horrible at writing letters, and that was way too many), I sent them as soon as I got home, and I sent a letter to the admission office with the interviewer's name on it. I think it's perfectly fine to send them right after the interview. If you wait until after you find out a decision, it may seem like you waited to say thanks just because you got accepted.
