Yea or Nay - Post-Interview Thank You Email

DATBooster | <a href=The Ultimate DAT Resource" />

Hey all, I recently interviewed with a school and was wondering if it was recommended or frowned upon to send a thank you email to the faculty members that interviewed me.

Email I was thinking about is short and sweet and goes something along the lines of:

"I want to thank you once again for taking the time to meet with me and discuss the DDS/DMD program. I was extremely impressed with the program and I am looking forward to hearing back from the college."

Please let me know if this would be a good thing to send, or if it would hurt my candidacy.

To me it seems like a very transparent attempt at flattery, but I don't think it makes a difference one way or another.
