2026 Barclays Discovery Program
I received a survey a little under a week ago, it was just asking which group and why that group, and haven't heard back since.
Anyone hear back yet?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information about the 2026 Barclays Discovery Program or updates on responses to surveys for that program. However, in similar situations from past discussions, such as the Barclays Springboard 2020 or other Barclays-related updates, delays in communication after surveys or superdays are not uncommon. For example, HR has previously mentioned delays in sending out offers or updates, with some candidates receiving information mid-week or later.
If you're concerned, it might be worth reaching out to your recruiter or HR contact for clarification. Patience is key, as these processes often take time.

I also recieved the survey but never heard back - did u hear back?
Not at the moment, no.
Got an email like 5 min ago saying I got in, not sure if it's selective this year, but had a buddy who didn't get an acceptance email so it must be selective I guess, no in person programming.
Just got the email rn
Same, not sure if it was competitive.
I think it isn't that selective since it is all virtual, can't imagine they'd have a large filter. Doesn't lead to a first round
Yeah was wondering how competitive it is
yeah just got the email but its fully virtual?
Got in, don’t think it’s selective
I got the acceptance email, but it’s hard to judge how competitive it is. The problem with this forum is that people who get in are usually the ones who comment, while those who don’t rarely post. So it’s tough to gauge selectivity based on the thread alone.
del
i know some people who got rejected as well, so i would like to think it was somewhat selective
i heard back 2 days ago, i got in
same. wondering how selective they were
Anyone got Divisional specific Coffee chats following the program? Recently got one for S&T
No 🥀
Just got in for Banking Discovery after Interview a few weeks back.
