Receiving reply to thank you note has no correlation whatsoever with anything. Admissions and interviewers receive tons of thank you notes and responding or not is a matter of time/personal choice. I have received hand-written thank you notes in the mail from prospective students - I don't think they expect same in response.

Thank you notes topic comes up every year and every year people make big deal out of it. It's a very minor detail - thank you note will never make or break the deal.

I received no response to my thank you on one admit w/ fellowship.
I received a fantastic and gracious response to a thank you letter on one admit w/ fellowship.
I received a fantastic and gracious response to a thank you letter on a straight up rejection.
I received no response to my thank you on a waitlist.

So yeah, make of that what you will. (Hopefully you arrive at the "there is no correlation" conclusion, as I did :) )

Yes such things won't make or break. Eg. if you write in your email ' Please do asap, as the project is blah blah blah'. No matter how many times u write kindly please...urgent........ It does not matter......

I agree that there is no correlation, this is a personal decision by the interviewer and not necessarily the school policy. Also, assuming that all interviewees send thank you emails, responding to all of them is a lot of work!
