They source from very specific target schools through structured on campus recruiting. If you are not attending one of those target schools, it's not impossible but highly unlikely

I got faang with normal resume from online application at a no name school. (we didn't even have a cs program when i joined) There was no logical reason for my resume to make it into the interview pile in the same way that there was no logical reason you didn't land in the interview pile. At a certain point it is pure randomness due to the sheer number of applicants.

May be in google but other companies it’s true

Sorry to say this, but for MS, top 50 almost == nothing. Top 10-15 is considered “good”. But this only means your school name won’t add much to your resume. Meaning you won’t get as many interview as top 15s (it’s true). Apply to as many positions as you can and don’t just focus on FAANG. Once you have the interviews, your school doesn’t matter. If you’re good, you should have no problem getting the job. Again, apply to as many companies as you can. A non-FAANG internship is better than no internship.
