I'm sorry to hear about your news.I hope to apply to BA in August and although I don't know how you feel I can imagine how gutted you are as I myself can only see myself flying with BA.
There are other sponsorships out there maybe not with BA but if you really want to be a pilot then I know I won't be fussy in who I get the chance to fly for(hopefully)
Now that you have your degree why not apply to BAE systems and work for them for the year. I myself worked for them (only as a storeman) and have known people to be accepted for BA sponsorships schemes. As I have not sat the BA aptitude test I do not know what they contain and any feed back on this would be great. At BAE systems you will learn a lot more on the technical side of an aircraft then you did at Uni and this might help your aptitude for next years tests.
Good luck in what you decide to do and I hope this helps.
Cheers FD.
