[Student] EE Undergraduate BOMBS all Final Rounds, fails to secure internship for Summer '26, Employed engineers GTIH!
Hey, longtime lurker here, first time posting.
I'll let the numbers speak for themselves:
- 500+ apps sent (100+ companies, Sept 2025-now)
- 0 offers
- only ~10 companies invited me to interview
- Had several final rounds I felt confident about but I guess not
Considering I am a returning-level intern in terms of experience, and I have a few well-documented technical projects under my belt, why is conversion so low and why are most places not even screening me in at all out of 500+ apps?
Maybe I'm just bombing the interviews, but that's a whole other thing.
Just wanted to see if there are any glaring Red Flags I'm overlooking on my resume, maybe something that repulses recruiters or fails ATS.
Any brutal honesty welcome. Thanks in advance.
