It's the end of admissions season. You received rejections, may have been wait-listed, and hopefully received at least one acceptance letter. Now it's time for summer, right? Stop! Take a moment to visit your professors' offices or email them to fill them in on your application. Writing a letter of recommendation is not easy. It takes time. Most professors who write recommendation letters on behalf of their students care about the outcome. They are invested in the success of their students. In addition to thanking the faculty who write letters of recommendation your behalf, you should let them know the outcome of your application. And if you haven't thanked them, now is the time - regardless of whether you were accepted to graduate school.
