This does seem to be a very short list of rejections from my perspective as a current CS student at a decent state university in the US. During applications season in the fall it's not uncommon for my peers to apply to between 20 and 100 job postings. This tracks for students seeking internships and those seeking full-time employment. This past year I applied to less jobs than I ever have and still applied to 16 postings (all of which I was reasonably qualified for, no FAANG) before landing my current internship. The year prior I applied to far, far more.
