I am a sophomore at a private liberal arts college. I am 21, bilingual, have a good GPA, have had good jobs in the past and have service hours for miles. However, I have not made it into the program both times I have applied. I made it to the interview both times and sent an email of rejection the day before the deadline the first time. The second time I applied was a little different because they sent me an email saying they wanted to keep me on file for another 2 weeks to see if anything opened up and after 2 more weeks sent me a rejection letter. During my phone interview I answered questions with confidence, happiness and professionalism (maybe my mistake was being too calm and not energetic enough). I checked high interest in maybe 5 jobs, moderate interest in quite a few things and some in low interest. The first time I applied halfway through applications. The second I applied within hours of the applications opening. It did not seem to make much of a difference either way.
So, all that being said, does anyone have any suggestions/advice/constructive criticism on what I did wrong or what I can do better? Thanks!
