Well I would be delighted to be proved wrong.
However the 800 would be whittled down to about 300 after the automatic online filtering. Then, IC states there is a maximum of 50 places for 2008.
I personally know of at least half a dozen who were interviewed and sim checked during December from the latest recruitment drive, and given start dates for January 08.
Time will tell, but if the online app is still working, then keep updating your details!
