I recently received a rejection email from Bain & Company for their True North: Scholarship for Women. The message mentioned they were impressed by my application, invited me to attend future events, and encouraged me to apply for a full-time role next year. I’m wondering if this is a generic message sent to all rejected applicants, or if it indicates that I stood out and they may be genuinely interested in staying connected.
Same was the case with Mckinsey's summer internship. Does that means I still have a good chance or is it just a polite rejection.
