I find it highly unlikely that jjfly would have heard back from VA this early considering application for the program closed just over 2 weeks ago:
"7. How long will the selection process take?
The selection process is expected to take 8- 10 weeks from the close of advertising.You will receive notification if you have been short listed to participate in our assessment process within four to six weeks of the application close date. Due to the high number of applications received it is not possible to provide individual feedback to unsuccessful applicants".
I don't mean to be rude and he/she may be telling the truth but given the way that most of these cadetship threads end up going I wouldn't be suprised if it's a windup, especially seeing as the user account was only created on August 29.
No offence intended.
