Too late to send a thank you?

[schoolpsycher]

I interviewed at a program on Friday (so 5 days ago). Do you think it's too late to send a thank you email? I'm not sure if it's worse to send one so long after or to not send one at all? Thoughts?

Not too late I sent a thank you after my fellowship interview about 3-5 days after

I've waited 6-7 days to send a thank you email before (obviously not ideal but things get in the way sometimes!) and professors don't seem to be put off by how long it took me to thank them!

Better late than never I always say.  5 days isn't terrible so send em out!

I think as long as it's within a week, you're fine.

what sorts of things to folks put in a thank you?

I think after it has been a couple days, it's best to not send it. at that point its just awkward. 

 

As far as what to put - I would just thank the faculty for their time, and reiterate my interest in the program/working with them.
