The interviewer emailed stating I did not seem interested enough even when I wrote an entire essay stating my background, reasoning, and excitement towards this opportunity. I'm not sure how much more detailed I could get when you guys have a small word count maximum, They state that it's an educational program to help students, but they make it more competitive than any startup I applied to.
