The application was valid, as much as I can tell based on what they ask and the limitation of the program. Except if there are secret rules that no one can know…
I see no legitimate reason to think that my application was not valid. I followed all the process, filled everything they asked. The only point (not in the “rules”, but could have been a thing) I have imagined potentially a blocker is that my application was in french subtitled in english (+transcript). The problem is that they had to watch the video to know it… And they don’t.
So no, for now, the only realistic theory is that my application was rejected without even open it, just because too old, from a random not popular or whatever…
If Epic starts to give feedback on application rejected, I would love to tell I was wrong…
