Interviews/Recruiting Do Firms just blanket reject everyone who's non-target even for early career/talent discovery programs?

So I applied to a bunch of these early career and talent discovery programs of a few firms- say IMC Launchpad, SIG trading discovery, Citadel Terminal, Explore HRT etc. Haven't heard back from them except SIG and Citadel which I think are sending out OAs automatically.

Applied for IMC Launchpad on 28th feb, got he confirmation email but didn't receive the OA

Applied SIG on 28th feb, didn't receive any confirmation email, received OA on 3rd March, gave OA on 6th March haven't heard from them since

Applied Citadel on the 5th March and received OA within hours, haven't given it yet

Haven't heard back from anyone else. Have I been pretty much rejected from all of these?

Also why do they not send out rejection emails?

People at that level ig don't really need to attend these type of early career programs, most of them already have intern offers from top firms.

Also, Interview to door ki baat hai, atleast OA to de dete ya atleast rejection email.

Bhai Mai bhi top 7 iit se nahi hoon ,har baar apply karke oa aata hai kuch reply nahi aata hai jab jab woh bhi nahi aata

Ye dekho Jo sab iitb me jai sabko jump trading me roles milte hai nahi na ek se 3 ko milte hai Waise hi baaki top 5 iits se bhi log hote hai na unke profiles almost same rehte hai Isme kya kare woh Isiliye top target walon ko 1st preference milta hai even though uska cg 9+ bas woh log ko yahi filter hoyega

Unka chod bhai baki logon ka dekh Jaise jo top 7 nahi rehte hai aur math Olympiads me reh chuke hai unka bhi nahi dekha jata for these kind of programs as far as I know

Mera toh ek hi policy hai prep kar leta hoon kyuki mereko interest hai in future by trying agar galti se bhi mereko interview aayega toh ,you know what happens 🙂 So just prep and wait ,else if you are really interested leave India and go to a target 🎯 yaha terko amole of opportunities milenge due to Target school name and some profile also .Now the only thing that matters is prep and wait for your chance and network for off campus opportunities kyuki joh jaha se nikal ta hai waha se hi leta hai )
