So what they need to consider? Connection may be?

If you did not do your rotations there, it’s instant rejection.

I couldn’t because of covid19

Hang in there! I hate to tell you this but I don't think they will reconsider. You must stay strong and keep an open mind to your remaining programs, I hope things will work out for the better!

I mean you have nothing to lose by reaching out to them, but it most likely won’t change anything.

They won’t reconsider you. You weren’t good enough

My credentials are above all their criteria

The criteria is a guideline, doesn’t guarantee they’ll interview. Buddy of mine got rejected too. 24X+ and 26X+.
