It's time a thread was started to address the specific topic of post-interview "activity" and what different programs are known to do. Which programs really "want" to get a thank-you letter? Whic programs need you to come for a second-look in order for you to match there? Which programs don't care? Which send letters? Who makes calls? etc...

Facts are good. Rumors are fine. Let's hear it all.
HSS sends a letter indicating in which of 3 tiers you are ranked. I learned about this on thus forum and it has been verified by residents in the program. I am not sure how highly they value thank-you notes. I am not sure when the letters go out.

I have heard rumors that if you did not rotate at Duke most applicants "should" do a second-look if they want to be ranked highly...

Sinai said during the interview that they would tell you "relatively" where you were on their rank list if you contacted them. Has anyone done this, and if so, who do you contact?

Nothing from Pitt or HSS for me. Harvard said they would not be calling this year. I did get a letter for Hopkins that was exceptionally bland - if anyone wants to compare nots on that, let me know.

I think everyone who interviewed at Hopkins gets the a letter. I think I got the same bland letter.
Pitt has definitely made some phone calls.

HSS will probably contact people (via letter and/or email) in the next week or two.

What about Maryland? I heard that maybe they were making calls... can anyone squash this rumor or confirm it? I'm think of second looks too, what do you think? Dr Sawbonze?

Sinai sent out an email about a week ago to people "ranked in the top 10"
