Hey All,

I've applied for a couple of 2024 TCs and for some I haven't yet heard back for a while. Should I be worried? Is no news good news? Do firms usually communicate rejections or no?

Thanks for your help guys!

Yes you should hear back whether you've been successful or not but it's not unusual for there to be quite a delay in hearing back!

There was a small minority of applications I never heard the outcome of, to be honest. If it's been 8-10 weeks after the deadline for applications has passed, I would proceed on the basis of the assumption that it's probably a no from the firm.
