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.

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.

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

 

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.
