greencoloredpencil Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I was unaware that doing something besides thanking your letter writers was an established practice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alethicethic Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I gave them handwritten thank you notes, and a nice little package of tea, because these are people who have mentored me for the last three-odd years. Nothing too flashy or expensive; I feel that that would be inappropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philosophe Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I think it's funny how people keep referring to "handwritten thank you notes." It's like... is there really any other type of thank you note? Ah, 21st century. (I guess I don't consider an email "thank you" to be an actual thank you note.)

DHumeDominates Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 My handwriting is disgraceful, so handwritten notes are out of the running for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmm Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I think email thank you notes are fine -- and especially convenient for people who are out of town (what...a stamp?). That said, I did write notes to my referees that were attached to the gifts I gave them personally (I was still taking classes at the same school). I also emailed them admissions updates, which I think were also appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
