Thank you! I feel very honored.

how did you find out about this and id also like to know how i can join

Just look it up online and click the first result. That's how I learned more about it

Yes but the first result does not contain a Zoom link, and one hasn't been sent to me either.

Did you guys send thank you notes and if so how'd you go about it?

Just send it to them individually (the Asst. Dean already said they don't track thank-you notes/letters whatsoever) by finding their email online. Also encourages them to respond individually to you. But I'd give it like a day or two (you don't want to do it immediately otherwise they might think you're trying to suck up too much to influence their evaluation on you).

They don't track it at all, so it really doesn't matter

Thank you!

do you guys have any idea how receptive washu is to pre-ii update/interest letters and how they handle those? i sent one in a week ago

Some people on here said they don't like it but according to their website they welcome it? I think if there was an acheivement or new major activity they take note but otherwise all it can do is be a 'hey I'm here' reminder at best
