They’re completely separate processes - keep going. Some people get rejected from both. You’re still in a strong position.
I wouldn't necessarily raise it in the interview and instead raise it should you get an offer. If you are asked about it at interview, you can state that you are aware there may be issues given your term dates but that you would look to liaise with your university and the firm to ensure you are able to attend the scheme.
This is quite a common obstacle faced by plenty of international students. My friend had an issue with this with the W&C winter scheme and when she spoke to grad rec they were able to switch her to the spring scheme. If there are any other scheme dates that don't clash with term maybe ask if you can be considered for them instead? Or maybe switch to a direct TC route. Either way, my advice would be to speak to them earlier rather than later though so you can find a solution. If I was grad rec and I offered someone a place on a vac scheme and they came back to me and said they were unavailable and had known that was the case but didn't say anything I would be a bit annoyed and less inclined to go out of my way to help them
I think if you have already emailed and they have said that you are not being considered for spring or summer you could assume PFO, especially as you applied for winter. I could be wrong though! I defo wouldn’t send any further emails.
My bad I meant they said I am being considered for spring and summer- just edited my original post
i am so upset not gonna lie
