    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

    Nope, heard nothing from them. I don’t know if they now wait until the deadline has passed for them to invite people to an interview. I’m in the same boat, I definitely didn’t do well either so I’d rather they just have already told me I haven’t passed it.

    In the same boat - I’m hoping they just have an obscene about of apps to look through and it’s not just a delayed PFO (or they just don’t even respond)
