Paper Rejection Letters

I recently sent out paper applications for clerkships, and I’ve received a few paper rejection letters (without an interview). Some of these letters appear to be personalized, while others seem to be generic.
Is this common? I hadn’t heard of this from my peers who applied in previous cycles, but that may just be because people don’t care to discuss rejections.

Paper rejection letters without an interview is uncommon. I think I must have sent out like 50 paper apps in my time and got just one of them.

As an alternative anecdote, I got quite a few paper rejections without interviews when I sent out paper apps. I don't have numbers now, but I'd say more like 10 out of 50.

I have a nice stack of paper rejection letters from back in the day, but can't say there's an explanation for that vs radio silence. I think a judge I applied to twice only sent a rejection letter the second time around. Maybe I made it further in their process or maybe they really didn't want me to apply anymore
