Just spoke to Sterling since I was wondering about the process since it looks like there is a lot confusion about whether getting an interview is a determining factor. Forsure, if you get an interview you are a finalist (50-60 people will receive an interview). But, when I asked for clarification about the people who did not (myself included) receive an interview and if that means they are not finalist he stated he doesn't know and the final say is the academic departments. The main piece I got from the call and I didn't find from the other threads, except through speculation, is that if you receive the interview then you know you are a finalist. If you don't receive one you just don't know if you are a finalist.
