TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2026-27

Hey guys, I had a final interview for a firm last Tuesday, and I’m sure they said they said I would hear end of that week, so Friday just gone. I still haven’t heard back, so I’m really concerned. I’m not sure if perhaps I misheard and they said end of next week. Has anyone received good news later than the stipulated deadline? Trying not to panic too much aha
Hey!

I completely get why you are feeling anxious, but I would try not to read too much into it yet. Firms miss their own timelines more often than you'd think (usually from things outside of graduate recruitments control), and delays can happen for loads of reasons unrelated to the outcome.

Whilst I personally haven't, I've definitely seen people receive good news after the original date they were given, so being a few days late doesn't automatically mean it is bad news. If you still haven't heard by later this week, there is no harm in sending a polite follow-up email.

Fingers crossed for you - I appreciate the waiting is the hardest part! :)
