After speaking with old school, still listed for OCI

I called my old school and they told me they would care of my OCI spots at old school, they have failed to do so as of today, and OCI is soon. I called again and they told me again they will take care of it. Should I just trust them and if they dont do it , show up? Should I be on them more? What should I do

If you're enrolled at new school and definitely not returning to old school, you've done what you can do, I suppose, short of calling every single firm and saying "take me off the schedule." That seems extreme.

I'm pretty sure old school will take care of it, and if it doesn't, it's only screwing over its current students and itself by mismanaging the OCI process. I'm sure you're not the first transfer, they should know what they're doing by now. Be glad you're not there anymore, I guess.

Maybe they're waiting to see who else is leaving before adjusting the OCI interview schedules?

OP here. My only fear is a firm thinking that I "no-showed" them and then ddint even send an apology letter.
also on my mind, is the possibility of going to both, even though I decided not to, if my school wont act accordingly then maybe I should???

Check again a day or two day before OCI starts. If you're still on the list, send a polite email to the firm explaining you left and that apparently the school hasn't taken you off the list. Then tell them you're available for an interview if they're still interested.
