It's so annoying, I know I'm smart enough to do any of these roles but I won't get them because I was never president of the pogo stick society at university and even when I got internship / graduate interviews I got rejected because I'm not an extroverted handsome outgoing person. I would bet my future house that I'm in the top (20 % at most) smartest students in terms of book smarts, based on various reasons (I know the OP will always get abuse for saying stuff like this, just take my word for it and I'll believe that you're one of the smart ones too.). Also I know that staking your sanity on one application is dumb because it's all luck, I do apply to tonnes of stuff.

What's really ironic is that banks let students from any subject apply, and engineering jobs only let specific engineering students apply... yet I get more bank interviews than I do engineering ones! I'm pretty sure that this is because engineering is filled with dumb normies while banks are filled with smarter normies. So the banks have a higher educational cut off that effectively eliminates a lot of people with better extracurriculars than me (they also have higher churn of people).
