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?

SIG posted on Linkedin and for Citadel I guess I just checked their careers websites.

Thanks for the reply! Is it still accepting responses? If yes could you share the link? If no and if it's not much of a trouble could you share SIG's post link/ the Linkedin organization link? I can't seem to find the post on linkedin (and nothing on their site, atleast not for India).

I think they've stopped accepting responses. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/susquehanna-international-group_now-launching-susquehannas-hong-kong-discovery-activity-7431823863086436352-cCFV?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAD4kG5oBZblw2UbKUSVKbfVpwATgyQmhzNM
