These interviews are hard and you have to make an effort to get good at practicing them to get into a company.
Some people are not smart enough to do it, but I doubt you are one of them. If you can get through a calculus, statistics, and machine learning classes at a top university you are definitely smart enough. I struggled with these classes at times and I feel like like I am more intelligent then a lot of the Data Scientists I work with.
How much time have you put into interview prep? I here a lot of people say they do over 300 leetcode[0] (mostly hard and difficult problems) before they start to feel comfortable doing these interviews. This was for software engineer jobs, I don't know if there is an equivalent service for data science. You almost have to treat the preparation for job interviewing as more important then your studies.
