The morning after... [#permalink] New post   01 Oct 2010, 10:52
So last night I attended a great Goizueta cocktail reception for interested applicants. I made several contacts in admissions, who gave me their business cards and said "Keep in touch."

What is the protocol here? Is it advisable to send in my resume and ask questions, or should I just e-mail them a quick thanks and keep them in the loop as to when my application is submitted?

I want to remain on their minds, but don't want to seem pushy.

Thanks!

Quick email to say thanks and that you will be applying in Round X. I'm not sure what the purpose of the resume would be.

Agree with lagomez here, dont be too intrusive, I wouldn't send a resume but would ask any insightful questions I had. Just a nice thank you will be sufficient.

These events are great and can be a perfect way to gain knowledge about a program but thats about it. I was really gung ho about going to as many as i could but the adcoms meet so many people its not going to be that big of a deal, unless of course you make an amazing impression and continue that with communication. The adcoms are probably on their way to another city to do it all over again and again.

There is a fine line between excited and pushy and unfortunately for us we dont know where that is in the adcoms opinions, and it could be different form person to person. One may love to give you resume a quick look but another may not.

Either way its not worth it.

it's always good practice to respond within 24 hours with a brief thank you and (again brief) reiteration of your interest in the school. unless you have a specific question regarding one of their classes or lines of research, dont write too much more than that. dont include the resume

Hey Brian,

I'm a first year there, so feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

Send a brief thank you note, email is fine - hand written would be even better (career center is big on hand written thank you notes. That would get you noticed in a good way). Let them know how much you're interested. If you have specific admissions question(s), feel free to include them, but be specific.

Do not send your resume.
