I was a rising sophomore and I submitted a resume for a summer internship. Note that the job description didn't say anything about age. I received an email 2 days later that I got the first round, I was super excited. I get on the phone with an analyst, 2 minutes of chatting, and then I start telling my story. When I say I am about to start my sophomore year, he goes like "oh dude you are too young, HR can't even screen resumes". We said goodbye, was nice meeting you and it was over. I would say 4/5 mins at most.
This sadly is actually more common than most would expect lol
