Hi person who asked about ABC -- I did a prelim interview with her back in early Dec, but didn't get a formal interview invite. I'm pretty certain she has finalized her interview list and reached out to everyone. I know this is disappointing and I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I figured it's better to know sooner rather than drag out the uncertainty. Best of luck with the rest of your applications!
