Following Up - Alternate

I had a superday a couple weekends ago. They sent an email out about a week after saying that they needed more time because they were really impressed by the candidates, but we should know our status one way or another shortly. Im still sitting tight, but I get the impression Im an alternate because I have received no offer, but have not received a rejection either. They said we would know our status "shortly", but that was about 2 weeks ago. Should I shoot the MD who I connected with and email to get an update, or should I just keep waiting? Just seems odd that they would say we would know our status, and still after all this time, nothing...

 

Dear XXX,

I just wanted to follow-up from our interview.... I thought that XXXX (firm) would be a great fit for me because of...

Lastly, I wanted to take the time and thank XXXX (Firm) for consideration of my application....

Something along these lines. It might be a bit late now, as follow-ups generally occur 1-2 days after the interview.
