 * Have interviews been scheduled?  Does anyone know anything? (12/5)
 * I haven't heard anything but my application is probably out of consideration since 2/3s of my original letter writers never got a prompt from their HR to submit a letter so I had to get last minute letter writers since two of my originals were out of the country and difficult to get a hold of. Very frustrating especially since I thought I had a decent shot at this one. (12/6)
 * Thanks, I don't think my letter writers were contacted either - I'm pretty sure.  Has anyone out there been notified that their referees were contacted? (12/6)
 * I found out because I received a notification that one of my letter writers had uploaded her letter five days before the deadline. After dealing with their HR department for a couple days regarding this issue, I think it was a technical issue on their end and I wouldn't be surprised if they are taking so long because they have so many incomplete applications and have to request letters now.
