I'm currently 25 and don't become 26 until November. Do you think I'd be able to qualify?

I got pretty close last time and this would be my last chance.
Unfortunately you are almost 2 years too old, the requirement is:

Not yet be 25 years of age on 1 October 2017.

I turn 25 two weeks before that date, which feels really ****ty. Can they really make an age restriciton? I guess they can make their own rules for applicants but somehow it might be viewed by some people as a form of age discrimination? I mean, does the EU regulations allow this? Just a question!
Yes they really can make an age restriction, and have done for a long time.
