Got no response from any banks for SA 2024 - Do I have to give up?

Hi guys, I've applied to a number of banks' 2024 SA program in early Sep, but I've got no response from any bank. (non US)

Now its october, and I've heard some of my colleagues heard back from the banks for the next round, but I've got nothing. 

I did off-cycle internship at BB IBD recently, which makes me expect to hear back, but literally zero banks gave me any response. Should I give up? (For SA 2024) I think Oct is too late to expect further response
