I emailed GWC and this is what they said (it’s really similar to what you said so you were right haha):
Hi Vivien,
Thank you for your interest in the Virtual Summer Immersion Program!
We wish that we could offer every student a position, but unfortunately we have received a lot of applications this year. We do have a selective application process and consider a wide array of factors for acceptance into the program. While we try to accommodate as many girls as possible off the waitlist, the number of available seats varies by region and program round so we cannot guarantee placement. We are working hard to provide more opportunities for girls and will notify students as soon as possible via email if a seat becomes available.
In the meantime, we encourage you to look at some of our other programs, such as Clubs and Code from Home.
Best,
Girls Who Code Team

This sounds a lot like an automated response lol… I’m guessing this is a “No, don’t send additional info” ???
