They had over 200 applications.]

Thanks!] (The internal word is that a guy from Iowa (ABD) got a videoconference interview for this week (11/18). It would be interesting to know how many other applicants received any news from the search commitee) [Have they only interviewed 1 person, or is the Iowa guy #2?] (No clue whether the Iowa ABD was #1 or #10, but the word around was that his interview was scheduled for this week. No other rumor has been spread before, so this may mean something) [Got it. Thanks.]
