If an sf provided contact information on their website, it is probably OK to contact them a little bit after the first round of cuts.

So I take it not only is it ok but in some cases it might help while in others someone might be having a bad day and let you know.

i think that it depends on the facility. begin by looking at the facility's website for student employment. if they provide contact information, then use it. you can also look at their job openings to see if they are looking for somebody in your field.

I think that most facilities don't want 300 applicants contacting them.

I emailed and called the my sf and got it this year! the POC at my sf also said that she is glad that I call. It is depending on how you present yourself to the facility that you are interested in.

Yeah, I did it and got a lecture via e-mail. The guy was not happy.

I'm pretty sure it's NOT COOL to contact the facility.

Is it ok to contact the facility you are interested in? Is there a procedure or chain you should follow to do so?
