“A thank you note to admissions can be another way to express yourself uniquely to a college, which can be hard to do nowadays. I was super nervous for my interviews during the application process and forgot about a lot of talking points I wanted to make, which is why an email is so important and can help relieve stress while increasing your chances of admission.”

“Sending a thank you note to any admissions officers you interacted with can also create opportunities further into your college career. During an unpredictable time in your life, it’s best to cast your net as wide as possible. You might be applying as a transfer student, and the note you sent the admissions officer a year ago could be what gets you into your dream school.”

“The college application process has become extremely impersonal and clinical. The chance to send a quick thank you note adds a thoughtful touch that can make you stand out against other applicants.”

“Thank you notes to admissions offices are a necessary step in the process. Unfortunately, not many people realize how important it is or simply just don’t have the time to do it in this stressful and overwhelming time.
Ensuring that follow-up emails and thank you notes are in your college application process can be the difference between acceptance and denial.”
