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.

I interviewed at UK and I did not receive an e-mail. Actually, I have not received any e-mails, phone calls, or other hints from any programs. I guess I am sh%t out of luck.

Are people just holding their cards close or has Freddie Fu changed his ways this year-he's infamous for calling at least 20 people

I assume everyone got the same generic letter from Dr. Black at Penn State?

Does anyone know about the letter HSS sends out?

1) When do they send out?
2) Do they send to everyone who interviewed?
3) Email vs. snail mail?

Good luck everyone

I'm beginning to wonder if maybe HSS is not sending letters anymore. Although they have definitely done it in the past, nobody I talked to confirmed they are sending them out this year. And if they were going to, wouldn't they have already sent them at this point?

Any thoughts anyone???

Dr. Riley Williams has been calling people who are ranked to match-letters will also be sent out and should be en route as we speak. Hope that helps facilitate peoples final decisions....

I'm not sure if Meeda is just the only person who's been contacted, but before anyone who's interested in HSS gets concerned, according to people I just talked to at HSS no final list has been announced and no one has been contacted yet.[/quote]

Hate to cause a wild frenzy-I was just relaying what I had heard from a couple of people I know at the program. Obviously Jointdoc and I know different people that have different knowledge of where they stand on the rank list. Good luck to all...

Nothing in my mailbox from the west. In regards to HSS, I am waiting for whatever letter has my name on it before I start getting excited.
