Not sure if this issue is still relevant for OP, but for others reading:

My D did not send any thank you notes. She was accepted at four colleges with fabulous FinAid at two of them.

Myself, I find the idea of thank you notes for an interview a bit over the top. I certainly don’t think a lack of a thank you note is any kind of bad mark on your application. Before I get slammed by hordes of cc’ers, may I say that if the idea of a thank you note for an interview or after meeting someone comes naturally to you, then by all means do it.

You may find other ways to show interest that may feel more genuine to you or seem more timely. If you registered for the tour or signed a roster while there, you have already shown interest. One of the ways my D showed interest was by arranging for alumni interviews for colleges she could not visit.
