I don't think it matters to be honest. Sending thank you notes is a nice gesture but it's not going to hurt your chances or get you a job for that matter if you don't. I would just send them out on Monday.

It won't affect the decision one way or the other. It's just another email cluttering the inbox of a busy banker. They're going to make their decision based on the time they spent with you at the interview. A thank you email isn't going to sway their opinion in your favor if they just weren't impressed with you. If they thought you were a good choice, they're not going to change their mind if you don't send an email...like some teenage girl waiting by the phone on a Friday night and if her boy doesn't call her then she's gonna decide she's through with you. If it makes you feel better somehow, then that's all the true value it has. When they get the email they'll scan it, probably not even remember who you are, and then go about their day.

Is this true? We had a panel at my school where one IB associate who had done recruiting told us that she once dinged somebody just because she got no thank-you email.

It's one of those things that can't hurt, although in many cases it won't help either since decisions will have been made soon after the superday in all likelihood.
