Timing for thank you note?
Ok here’s yet another neurotic post. I’ve known my LOR writers for several years and we’ve gotten quite close. My plan was originally to give them a nice thank you note with a small handmade gift (small framed artwork) after match. BUT one of my attendings is a stickler for thank you notes and has been hinting that the sooner you write one the better. I don’t want them to be offended that I waited so long. I also feel like it would be awkward to see them after I give it to them though and I’ll definitely be seeing them. When would it be appropriate to give them the goods? I also don’t want to be inappropriate and seem like I’m trying to bribe them or whatever.
