Sorry to hear that smamrock. I applied 4 time before I made it past the panel interview, so I can promise that you really learn something from the experience each time that will help you to progress to the next stage next time around. Keep the faith and hopefully there will be another one in the summer!
Were you in the latest November intake? I don't suppose they gave you guys any more information such as start dates or how many classes or positions they would have or anything?
Thanks a lot, and blue skies for the future!
