I think it's difficult to answer that question. In part, this is because it can take time to develop the wide range of skills that the application process tests. We all know that it requires decent written and verbal communication, the ability to collaborate effectively, commercial and legal awareness, and traits like confidence and resilience that can take time to build. But without extensive feedback, pinpointing areas for improvement can be challenging, so I completely appreciate how frustrating this can be.
I think you might be doing even more impressively than you give yourself credit for. I encourage you to keep doing what you’re already doing - persisting and applying. If you can, I'd encourage you to take a close look at any feedback you’ve received so far, especially from assessment centres or after vacation schemes. If possible, use that feedback to identify specific areas where you can improve and take steps to address those areas. For instance, I remember being told that (amongst other things) my self-deprecating humour sometimes led others to doubt my abilities and question whether I’d be well suited to working directly with clients as a result of this. This was a difficult habit for me to break, as I thought it helped put others at ease, it ultimately worked against me. Addressing this took months of conscious effort and the support of friends who would remind me whenever I made such comments. There might be other areas you’ll find that could use a bit of polishing, like business writing (that was a big one for me). Take a good look at any feedback you’ve gotten so far, especially from assessment centres or vacation scheme, and see if there’s a way to identify where you can level up and take active steps to work on those areas. I really think you have what it takes and it's just a matter of time
