Did I screw up my relationship with a managing director?

Few months ago, I interviewed with a managing director who is in charge of a rotation program at a bank in my city. During the interview, the managing director referred me to a specialized investment banking company and encouraged me to contact him around August, and if I make through the interview process, I can start working as of September 2013 (i.e. in 7 months).

The thing is though, when I read more about the timeline for job application to the rotation program, I realized that the recruiting process ended in October 2012 for September 2013 program. I was not sure whether the managing director confused my information, so I sent an email to a hiring manager about the program. Then, the hiring manager forwarded that email to the managing director (the same guy I interviewed with) in my city.

First, I am not sure whether I potentially pissed off the managing director by sending that email to the HR manager.
Second, I am wondering whether the manager confused the dates, or whether it is actually possible for me to go through the interview process for that rotation program.

Lastly, after graduating in 2 months, I am afraid of being jobless & homeless. I am looking for jobs in investment banking, equity research, and consulting firm related to healthcare/life science/pharmaceutics, as I am interested in pursuing an MD-MBA in the near future.

Does anyone have any advice/suggestions?

Thanks

He told you to contact him around August 2012? Or August 2013? I would assume he meant August 2012 for a 2013 start position since hiring wraps up in Oct 2012.

If 2013, then he has some inside connections outside of general recruiting process.

I wouldn't sweat it too much. If he gets pissed about that, he's got too much time on his hands.
