A lot of the time it comes down to how easily your references are contacted. I think they are mailing out letters requesting your references to phone in at their convenience instead of playing phone tag.
I have a friend who waited six months before finding out his brother hadn't gotten around to making the phone call. Once the call was made he had his pal within two weeks.
