GWU

[GWU applicant]

I just got a request from GWU to have my final two recommenders fax their letters now. Anyone get a similar request?

[anoner]

Just a guess here friend, but it could be you got this message because your committee members did not get their letters in on time.

Then again, any interest is good interest, right?

They just need it for their records. I seriously doubt they would seriously consider someone whose writers did not think enough of them to even send in a recommendation. Par federal regulations, they probably are required to consider your application due to guaranteed job you get for being a minority, not a hardworking American like the rest of us.

This is less a request than a courtesy reminder. I know for a fact that the committee has not started reviewing the applications.

[GWU Applicant]

I'm the original poster. The application was not due until Oct 14. The note I got requested that the letter be faxed. Perhaps it is just a courtesy reminder--that's why I wondered if others also got the message

[gwuapp2]

I got this email too and also found it strange as it's a full week before they are supposed to start reviewing. You're not the only one who got excited thinking that it meant they liked you

[GWU applicant]

Maybe we're the only two.

Any word on this search? I suppose not that much time has passed but has anyone heard anything else on either GWU position?

[GWU applicant]

I haven't heard anything yet, though I'm not a perfect fit for that job and doubt I will make the long list. I am feeling a bit disheartened at the moment.

I also recieved the same e-mail about faxing the letters a few weeks back and thought it was curious, but obliged.

I haven't heard anything since then either. Hopefully positive news soon
