Hi all! I applied to graduate schools programs last fall (and luckily will be starting a program this fall). I have held off on giving an update to 2 of my 3 LOR writers (for way too long!) because I wanted to send them a handwritten note along with a small gift, but I'm not sure if they're back in their offices or working remotely from home. I don't want to mail handprinted letters if they won't be seen for months, but I don't feel like thanking them via email is good enough because of all of the time they put into their letters!
I know it's a little late to be sending something. I did send them long emails shortly after they sent out their letters thanking them for writing the letters.
Thanks in advance ?
