I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge or experience with this. Is it normal for schools to send out reference requests directly after an interview? I hadn't discussed the details with my principal yet because they said that the first round was only 2 questions and they would let me know if I made it to a second interview. My principal has known I have been applying each year but I think this referral request coming directly from a school shocked her. Heck it surprised me. They didn't say anything to me about sending them.
