    • Had applied and received immediate request for letters of rec, did this precede the interview request?
    • Not the above poster, but I took the immediate request for letters (which I got the day of applying) to mean that they messed up in not indicating in the job ad that they expected them up front. (No interview here fwiw.)
    • Different poster than all of the above: I did not receive a request for letters on the day of applying, and no interview here.
    • Yet another poster different from the above. I included info of letter writers in my application. Have not heard from them that they received letter requests.
    • I gave Interfolio emails, but never got requests for letters at my Dossier acct.
  • Any updates from those who interviewed?
    • [5 Jan] Nope nothing here
