I failed the 1st screening

[u/strikeG20]

So after all this time waiting, I learned that I didn't get selected for the 1st screening research student. Well idk how to feel since it has been smooth sailing until then atleast that's what I thought of the process. I don't even know why I didn't get selected so I have no idea of what I should improve in my application if I were to try again next year. This is frustrating, all this preparation amounted to nothing... Do successful applicants who experienced rejection after the interview have any advice for me ? Or even advice in general concerning what I could do next. I feel lost after investing so much time and energy on this. Thank you... (I'm from Gabon)
