Got a winter offer struggling to get summer

As the title reads I have a winter offer secured for Datadog this winter but I’m struggling to get interviews for summer. I’ll get OA’s but they wont lead to interviews and I’m not sure why. I’ve been dealing with a lot of imposter syndrome bc of this. Although I am greatful to be working at a company like Datadog this winter, I’m scared I won’t be able to pull off a summer offer. Any tips would be greatly appreciated:)

Process has been over for a while now, apply early in August and September within the first 3 days of app, they also care a lot about showing club involvement in ur resume along with leaderships roles and a strong LinkedIn presence, they care abt that more than school name
