TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

if nothing from akin should i assume a pfo now?

They recently gave me an update, saying they are reviewing a large volume of applications submitted just before the deadline, and they would get back to everyone in due course.

I got 3 pfo's within a 24 hour timeframe... (dla, nrf and cooley). The dla one was particularly aggrevating since they asked me about reasonable adjustments, said theyd note it down but didnt apply them🤡
Im built different, i guess.
