I was told that I should send thank you notes to colleges that I like after my visit/tour, to show the colleges that I’m seriously interested in them. Is this a good idea? Will this set me apart from other students when I apply, or will this just take up space in the inbox of the Admissions office? If I should write thank you notes, what should they say?

Additionally, I’ve procrastinated on writing them, and now it has been 6 weeks since my visits. Will sending thank you notes this long after the visits do more harm than help, because I’ve put it off for so long?

Thank you.
