Pwc Internship Problem

    So I got multiple offers at big4 after a crazy fall recruiting season. I decided to go with PwC because they are super nice and helpful ( based on my office visit experience ). I was applying for winter internship 2015. I accepted the offer, got some paper work done, background check done, get my user name and password, etc to get ready starting on Jan. I have not received my team info and industry yet.

    However, some thing comes up, I couldn’t work in the winter because of immigrant issue. I am an international student so there are some problem of getting work authorization. I tried to figure out the solution but my school doesn’t let me work. So I decided to call PwC recruiter and asked her if I can switch to summer internship. I know it’s super inconvenient but I really have no other option. I do want to work in the winter to experience the busy season but I just can’t.

    She told me she will have to talk with the recruiting team and get back to me by the beginning of next week. However, it has been more than a week and I have not received a call back. I did send a short email to her but didn’t get the reply. I am very nervous right now. I don’t know asking to change internship time is something very unusual and impossible. I hope they are flexible about that. What is my chance ? Do you think I should call them back ?

    I know when I was scheduling second round interviews with PwC they told me they would get back to me on X day and I didn't hear from them. I thought that meant since I couldn't make the dates they suggested I was discounted as a candidate. I wrote a follow up e-mail and didn't get a response until a few days past. They ended up accommodating me and I ended up receiving the offer. I wouldn't write them off yet but I would follow up. I would just call and follow up to see what the status is. Perhaps let them know of other deadlines if you didn't already decline those offers – that usually expedites the process as all the big 4 I dealt with were very respectful of other deadlines and extending deadlines.

    Actually I accepted their offer and declined other offers. I got offer three weeks ago. Now I am just wondering about my chance to switch from winter to summer internship ? They said they will talk and arrange for me but I have not heard back from them.
