I haven't gotten any replies (from derm programs anyway). Also I hate thank you notes so much, they are so meaningless.

I got 2 replies to my Thank yous (I sent out 11 total), all from same institution.

Should I be sending thank you notes?? How important are they, really?

I was told by residents to do them. but a fellow told me they probably don't matter too much. but i still did them by hand

FTR one of the residents at yale told me she didn't send a single thank you note. Obviously she did okay.
