SA 2023 PWP Application Rejected

I never got a first round with the firm but my application portal says:

Thank you for your interest in our 2023 Advisory Summer Analyst (US) opportunity. We wanted to provide an update following your recent interview.

While your background and experience are certainly impressive, we regret to inform you that after careful consideration we will not be able to extend you an invitation for additional interviews.

We thank you for your time and wish you the best of luck with your job search.

I'm probably dinged but could this be a mistake?

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“My mentor was very helpful because he took the time to understand what I wanted to improve on instead of giving me generic advice. He explained concepts clearly and was always willing to answer my questions, even when I needed something explained more than once. I also appreciated that he gave specific feedback on what I was doing well and what I could improve, which made each session feel productive. He was easy to talk to and created an environment where I felt comfortable asking questions. I especially liked hearing about his own experiences because they gave me a better understanding of what to expect and how I could prepare. Overall, I learned a lot from our conversations and felt that his advice was practical and relevant to my goals.”
