hazell034 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Hi everyone, I don't see any posts asking about this so I decided to ask here. After you finish your interview, what would you suggest to do? I know thank you letter/note is a must. But what if, people who interviewed you was not one of the staffs/faculties of the program? Would you still try to send them thank you note? Especially in the situation that you could not find their email contact anywhere. I was interviewed by a PA-C that was not a faculty. And all I know is that his current practice address. Should I try to send a snail mail as thank you note? Thanks you, anyone who replies to these questions :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HopeToBePAC Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 A thank-you note is not necessary or recommended. It won't increase your chances or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbles Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 After interviews, I sent e-mails to all of my interviewers. I sent them within 24 hours of the interview. If you do not have a particular contact, you could e-mail the admin staff and they may be able to assist you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Notes are nice when you are interviewing a few people for one position. It is essentially meaningless when you’re interviewing a few hundred people for an incoming class. We interview, fill out some paperwork, and move on to the next.A nice thank you at graduation, on the other hand, is very nice and deeply appreciated!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted January 16, 2019 Administrator Share Posted January 16, 2019 I sent an email within 24 hours of my interview to Pacific, praising what I liked about their program, highlighting why I thought I would be a good fit, and letting them know that, if accepted, I would be attending. I was accepted outright, after being waitlisted and rejected other places. Did it make a difference? I don't know; I basically treated it like a follow-up letter after a job interview that I would have wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory1322 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Two of the programs I interviewed at utilized the MMI format so I was interviewing with 8-10 people only for a few minutes at a time. I didn't send any follow up emails or notes and was accepted at one and waitlisted at the other. Sending a thank you/follow up email certainly wouldn't hurt your chances but in the case of PA school I don't know how much they would help either.

Thanks you, anyone who replies to these questions If not convenient it's okay to not write thank-you notes. It's nice to do but is not a must. I interviewed at two schools, skipped thank-you notes/cards and got accepted by both schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
