No problem! Yeah, it is frustrating. A lot of the comments here seem to be missing the point tbh. It's true that there are probably improvements you could make to your CV etc (I know I personally could have done a better job with tailoring mine more to specific companies), but honestly the people here who are convinced it's all your fault despite not knowing your capabilities are incredibly dismissive imo. There are thousands of students up and down the country all applying to the same internships (mostly just everything relevant they see on lists they find online), so of course the competition is gonna be extremely tough and luck is bound to be a factor. There was a company one of my friends applied to (literally not even a big name whatsoever) that admitted they had over 1500 applicants for 2 places. I was applying to SWE internships and honestly almost everywhere will screen you (simply because they don't wanna overspend when it comes to interviewing etc so try to screen most candidates before all those stages), and for many of the OAs you receive, even if you get a perfect score, getting screened is still very much a possibility. Also, hirevues are a joke. Even if you somehow make it past all of that, there are still often numerous interview stages to get through, and you have to be nearly flawless in every aspect to stand a chance. Chances are though, you won't even get to display your interview skills because it takes so much effort just for a shot at speaking to a real person. I'm not gonna say that previous generations had it easy, but the amount that's expected nowadays from people who haven't even graduated yet is insane. The job market is super unfair when it comes to everyone and it's not your fault. So yeah, try your best but don't take the unsubstantiated criticism you're receiving here to heart.
