> I must have applied to Boeing 50+ times

What does that mean? Like you sent in a new application every other day?

Why would you re-apply after getting rejected? Don't you need to get more experience on your resume?

Job rejections virtually never get explanations. Even if you've interviewed in person, it's extremely unlikely. That's just how it is. Nothing specific to Boeing.

I interpreted it as applying to 50 different roles, which I think is normal if you really like the company.

Same, I've had colleagues do the same process to get a foot-in-the-door. It does work based on observation alone.

Oh, thanks. I've never seen that before for new college grads -- usually these big companies have a centralized hiring and interviewing and placement process for grads since that's so much more efficient.

Especially grad students tend to already have some work or research experience under their belt - meaning they don't necessary have to go through the meat grinder of "new grad" job listings.
