need help - rejection

Im a sophomore here at a nontarget US school in the east and i got rejected from 3 superdays and now i have nowhere to go. i really really do want IB but it seems like my personality really never came through as I realized the nerves rlly gets to me during the interviews. My question is, what should I do now? I have networked a bit with a few alumni, and was wondering if I should reach back out (what do I even say when i reach back out?). I would love any mentors, just open to any advice !!

Ty!!

I had a similar thing happen to me where I realized a bit too late that behaviourals are just as important as technicals and have gotten tons of interviews and a number of superdays but no offers, I would honestly say if its possible for you to just push grad back and re recruit then you should.
