No offer

Feels like all my hardwork since freshmen year has gone to 0. I feel like a loser and I’m honestly depressed. I come from a non target university and was able to get an IB internship. I also did a sophomore internship in NY. I was not able to secure a return offer and now I have nothing lined up. I really wanted to IB/ PE bcz I was so close and actually wanted to do it. Now I dont know what to say when I recruit for FT roles for PE as to why I didnt get the offer.
