• Skype interviews already held.
• [2 Dec] Official rejection via interfolio 12/02 (x2)
• [3 Dec] Well this is odd - I had a request for more materials, but neither a Skype interview request nor an official rejection. Maybe they're keeping a pool of us as backups? Seems somewhat strange. For those with the Skype interview, did you have a sense of the search timeline? (x3 12/3)
  • Same here, more materials followed by radio silence. Rejections would be nice.
