University of Michigan Latino Studies--Additional materials requested

--any updates from Michigan?

Also want to know, submitted an app but no follow up or request for more materials :-(

Zoom interviews happened week of 10/7. Anyone have any updates on campus visits?

First year on the market, is this a fast timeline? Does this indicate an internal applicant or something like it?

Not necessarily. Although internal candidate is always a possibility, sometimes schools get started early in anticipation of bureaucratic blocks. Not uncommon for first interviews to start in October for top programs.
