Is that what it says on your email? "There are limited places left for this season’s recruitment, so it could be that your application will be considered for next year’s recruitment, which starts in Autumn 2014."
If so, pay attention to "so it could be that your application will be considered"...Are we lost in translation? my understanding is that up to the end of this recruitment season(May 14) like it is stated in the other email,there are a few places left SO your application might be processed in autumm 14. It doesn't rule out that you could be called earlier.Let's agree to disagree.
