<p>Hey all!</p>
<p>I was wondering how many days after the interview should I wait before sending a thank you email? Does it even matter? Haha I’m slightly paranoid.</p>
<p>Also, would anyone be willing to show me what a generic thank you email would look like? What should I include in it? </p>
<p>I tried searching for this, but the search function won’t let me search for the words thank you which makes it difficult. I’ve also looked through the entire college interview thread … =/ Please help!</p>
<p>I would send it the day after the interview.</p>
<p>Send it ASAP. If you have the alum’s work or home address, it would be best to send it there. If not, e-mail is better than sending nothing, which, unfortunately is what most students do to show their appreciation to someone who volunteered by interviewing them.</p>
<p>Here’s a generic example.</p>
<p>Dear Ms., Mr., Dr. or if they told you to call them by their first name, dear Jane, etc.</p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to interview me for XXXXX college. I appreciated learning [insert something specific that the alum told you] about XXXX college, and I continue to be very interested in attending it.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Send it as soon as possible so they’ll remember you!</p>
<p>This is a generic letter. I’m stating a disclaimer, because if you just copy what I write, you won’t be geniune - so make sure you are as truthful and honest as possible. Make some references to the conversation you had so the interviewer knows you really mean it.</p>
<p>Dear (Name),</p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to interview me. It was really a pleasure meeting you and learning more about SCHOOLNAME. Talking to you about SCHOOLNAME made me even more excited about applying because I realized that (insert-interesting-fact-that-your-interviewer-told-you-here). You were also so helpful in answering all of my questions!</p>
<p>Thank you again,
lawlzatyou</p>
<p>It should probably be a few sentences more longer, and much more detailed. But you get the gist, hopefully :)</p>
<p>It doesn’t even have to be long., Thats just annoying…</p>
<p>You can just be short and sweet- Thank you for taking the time to interview me, I really appreciate it!</p>
