Sending follow up emails to check status after OCI

Post by Anonymous User » Mon Aug 19, 2019 1:00 pm

Has anyone sent a follow up email after not hearing back to determine your status?

If yes, did the firm respond to you? What did the email look like?

I sent them out 2 weeks to the day. Got a few dings in response, a few “we’re still deciding.” Only did these for screeners I hadn’t heard from, not callbacks, but I’m assuming it’s same situation.

Say something about how you are checking in to see if there are any updates to your application/candidacy, mention your continued interest, and that they should feel free to contact you if they need anything else.

My friend got 2 V10s late in to Sept. that he was on the wait list for doing this so I'd highly recommend it.

Following up on this, is it okay to say something like “following interviews I have had with other firms, your firm remains my top choice”? (Assuming that that is true)

This would be for a post-cb follow up
