NYU (New York University) interview questions

After getting contacted by the Senior person in the department and having a wonderful interview, the communication stopped. Then after my persistence in calling and emailing for several weeks, she finally answered and asked me to do a project that the other candidates would do as well. Once submitted - she never answered her phone or answered any emails again. Her assistant answered once in awhile only to tell me to call back. After two months I left a polite message but voiced my displeasure after working on the project - asking out of courtesy to just call or email me to tell me that the position was no longer opened- regardless of why - Never to be heard from again.
