I sent in my application for volunteering about a month ago. They said jobs were first come, first serve. I went to speak to them about two weeks ago and told them I wouldn't be available for an interview during Christmas Break if they were going to grant me one, because I would be home, but I mainly went because I wanted an update on whats going on. She (the woman that was sitting at the table in front of the many applications) said she hadn't gotten my application yet and was working on them. Even if they do seem to have a lot of applications, should I go AGAIN and see whats going on, and ask them if they had maybe decided not to interview me? If I've been denied, I'd like to look somewhere else to volunteer and would like that update. BTW, keep in mind my references were awesome (well, I like to think so), and I don't think they'd deny me an interview because, i reiterate, they were really good references. Yet, will coming in for a second time and checking up on whats taking so long make me look like a unrealistic pushy jerk (which I may or may not be)? I don't really want to risk that, because the woman who spoke to me when I came in last time was really rubbing it in that I need to wait and not come waste their time.
In summary, the only issue is that I would like them to tell me if they decided I wasn't worthy of them calling me back, and they had rejected without giving me an update, so that I don't put all my eggs in one basket. But at the same time, I don't want to risk being denied a volunteer position because they thought I was pushy little premed punk.
