What to do - First round interviews at MM banks

Hi everyone, I have a bit of a dilemma, I did first round interviews at a very good MM bank a few weeks ago (for FT IBD analyst position). It went really well, and a few days later a MD that I had talked to from this bank emailed me asking if I wanted to meet up in a city that is a few hours from my school (I am not near New York, where the bank is). Of course I said yes, and sent him what days I would be available to meet him, he said he would let me know when he knew his schedule better. We were going to meet later this week, but he never emailed me back with when he can meet. I emailed him this weekend, and got no response. Should I just wait to hear back or try to reach out to him again? By the way he is the one who got me the first interview. Thanks

is he supposed to be meeting you for an interview, or to hang out? Sit tight; if you don't hear from him, follow up the next week and try to reschedule. He may be busy at the time.

More is good, all is better
 

I'm not sure what it was supposed to be probably a mixture of hangout and get to know me and an interview. I will follow up a little later if I don't hear from him. I'm sure you are right, he is probably just swamped. Thanks for the advice
