By all means, write a thank you note. This is a question of etiquette, which is always a good thing to have. My consultant suggested it and I'm glad she did though I don't know whether it helped in any way to get me accepted. Its not a big deal, you won't have to do it more than a couple of times, i...

You can't expect an adcom to know about all the companies traded on the stock exchange or otherwise recognized in their field.
