From what I can tell, the only thing they really want to see is that you have done at least a couple of hours or orientation flights to prove that you are interested and comfortable in a small plane. I know people who have gotten the cadetship with a PPL and were in the same class as people who had only done one or two introduction flights, so dont think it's either necessary or frowned upon really to have a PPL. Once you can prove its your passion and not just a whim then you'll be fine!
