 * Hi All - Department representative to the Wiki here: The selection for the video/phone interview does not reflect any sort of ranking within the AHA pool. Rather, it was driven by department members who will not be in DC. Nobody has been eliminated from consideration, and no finalists have been invited to campus. (We were also trying out video interviews to see whether in future years we could forgo the AHA.)
