following up with HR

When is it appropriate to follow up on an application you submitted to a firm? After my initial application submission, they asked for writing sample and references but I haven't heard back from then in about 2 weeks. Is it ok for me to shoot an email asking for a status of my app and what would be the best way to frame it? Or is it better to not bother the HR person and wait it out?

Since you're probably talking about a position for this summer, then it would be appropriate to follow up after 2 weeks of no contact. You can email HR and ask for a status update and offer to provide additional info/answer any questions they may have regarding your candidacy. If they don't get back to your email within a few days (since the summer is looming) then it is safe to call them.
