SA 2020 Process - Feeling Discouraged

Hello, I am hoping to do S&T at a BB for summer 2020. As the process has kicked off already, I have already received a no from one BB after an OCR first round and a no from another BB after a superday (which was not very technical so I doubt it was b/c my technicals weren't up to par). Majority of firms haven't opened apps yet, but I am starting to become concerned that I am doing something wrong while interviewing and I will strike out at every BB. Does anyone have tips for how to improve or stay afloat in the process?
