I may have made a mistake

Guys I am entirely new to this, so bear with me.

I have applied to a position for a Summer Internship, but I am afraid that if they pick me for an interview and I get rejected I will hurt my chances for the next year.

Is this a rational fear or am I overthinking?

Not rational. Unless you go off about some racist shit or sexually harass the HR manager or something that gets you immediately blacklisted - your interview performance won't be held against you next year. Frankly no one will even remember you by then.

Ultimately, you're in college, you are or should be in a process of rapid learning and maturity. People understand that a crap candidate this year can very well be an excellent candidate next year, if that 12 months was spent working on your skillset (both technical and soft skills), networking, and actually learning the industry.
