Hi everyone! I’m an intern in S&T. I interned sophomore year and returned to the same program. I’ve been placed on a really interesting desk and love the product and the flow of the work. My feedback has said I’m a good intern and a very hard worker. However the desk won’t hire me because they believe I just don’t fit. How can I go about fixing this? How important is fit when you choose which interns to hire back?

This is a catchall answer, could range from you have some major flaw but they don't want to kill your chances at other desks, to they just didn't feel like you would fit in with the culture, to they felt other people networked better and had more people championing them.
On your next desk try to take as many people as you can out for coffee. Be friendly, chatty, inquisitive - figure out who is open to letting you shadow them for an hour or two and ask questions about the job.
