LOR thank you letter question

[zerolife]

so I've finally made the decision where to go and I guess now is the time to thank all my recommender. However, the dilemma I'm facing is that for the academic LOR, I have used four professors, each for a different school (long story). On top of that, only two of the schools are for related program.

Only one professor's LOR (in addition to the one from my boss) has actually contributed to me getting into the school I've decided to go but nevertheless, I'll thank all of them since they all spent a lot of time writing a LOR for me. The problem is that the other three professors don't even know that I applied to the school I'm going to, not to mention the major.

My question is should I explain this in my thank you note (and risk the chance that they might think their LOR was useless) or not say anything and hope that they don't remember for which school they wrote a LOR for me.

Hmm, I would just simply write a thank you note without explaining that situation. Tell them where you've ended up going and thank them for their efforts.
