Someone please help

Target university, STEM subject, 1 buyside internship (NOT diversity/nepotism - I networked and interviewed).

Recruiting for SA IB. Recently attended an AC and was told they don’t have spots for SA but they can offer an OC. Interviewed with another place and was told I’d be put forward for an AC by my interviewer - I believe this place has had 4-6 ACs already and I’m yet to hear back. This is also not my first time applying for SA roles, and I can’t help but feel hopeless at this stage. What does one do in this situation?

I’ve only stated my “credentials” in order to give a better picture of my profile; it’s not because I think I’m special or entitled to anything.
