BB Diversity Programs (like Springboard) - how it works

I think everyone here should take this with a grain of salt, but my friend at Barclays told me that Springboard and other diversity programs have quotas for each diversity group. As in, take this many women, this many minorities, and it makes it difficult for them to categorize you if you don't clearly fit into one of the typical diversity groups. So there's actually a good amount of more qualified applicants in a certain diversity group that aren't taken because there's not enough room for their proposed quotas for the program, and other applicants who they weren't sure which diversity they fell under since there wasn't exactly an area to pick which diversity group they fell under on the Springboard application (ex/ a white male who is low income and considered that as diversity and went ahead and applied).

The point I'm trying to make is, don't think that you got rejected because you were unqualified, and keep on recruiting and grinding! There will still be plenty of available spots during the regular rounds of recruiting, so don't let a diversity program that likely had quota spots in advance put you down.
