How do I approach this situation?

Hi All,

So, the past couple of weeks I have been engaged with a boutique PE firm regarding a summer internship. I cold called and somehow my resume was forwarded to an associate who wanted to interview me. He did, it went great, and after following up he said that he wants me to have another conversation with one of his colleagues (a second round). In the email he said, "I'll have my assistant schedule something with a colleague" who was CC'd on the email. So I responded to the associate only, saying "thanks I'm looking forward to it". The thing is, I haven't heard from the assistant or anyone else about actually coming up with a day for this second interview. My question is: should I follow up with the associate again, or his assistant? Or just wait? I'm afraid it'll never get scheduled if I don't follow up considering I had to follow up a week after the first interview just to get a response from them.

Yep, I would politely reply to the email (only to the assistant this time) asking what days would be convenient or something to that effect. How long has it been since that email?
