Has William and Mary's online system initiated reference requests for anyone else? It hasn't for me, and I just want to make sure I didn't make some mistake in submitting - i.e., was there a button I was supposed to press somewhere to trigger this process? My references are listed, it just says "recommendation solicited: no" for each of them. Any insight welcome.
Thanks!

my references have not been solicited either. this could mean something or, likely, not. not trying to be condescending, but i wouldn't worry too much about any one particular job. you are almost certainly not going to get this job, ya know? that is, unless you have some inside info or have heard from them otherwise.

just keep waking up every day hoping you get an email from someone, anyone. please email me.

[you can relax]

I had the same concern, so I called and spoke with an administrator who told me they are waiting to request recommendation letters until later in the process. I'm assuming that means they will make some long or short list so they don't waste anyone's time.
