Rejected from Sophomore IB Internship -- How to continue networking?

Hey Everyone,

I applied for a few Sophomore IB BB roles and networked fairly hard for them (diversity + I also attend a top target) with two official referrals (I got notifications in my email). Unfortunately, I just received my rejection (I applied in beginning of July so maybe too late). As I was networking fairly hard with one group at the IB firm and am still set on working there in a future (in that group too), I was wondering if anyone had any idea on how to proceed from here. Do I continue networking with that group even though I was rejected from them? Or am I screwed and have they lost all hope in me?
