Applying to the Same Internship Twice

Hi All,

Junior at a non-target here. I have a couple of referrals at T1 and T2 firms, but am going to be applying without referrals for most of them. I do have a couple of prospective referrals in the pipeline though, and am going to continue to network over the next month.

If I apply to a position now, without a referral, and receive a referral later am I able to re-apply? Also, if my application hasn't been reviewed yet, can a referral effectively "flag" it in the system without me having to re-apply?

Thanks!
