I'm sorry, but since school is so close to starting I have to
say that I do not think you are still being considered for
these jobs. Administrators would want to hire sooner than
later so that the applicant will be processed in time. I know
from experience that a long wait usually means they have
decided, and its not you. They will not always give a
definitive no, because they want to have a back up option if
there first pick doesn't work out (like if they decide to go
somewhere else for example). I'm saying this because it would
be better for you to start looking elsewhere.
