Applying

I am currently a 2nd Masters student studying statistics interested in getting into data analysis. Last summer on my search for an internship, I got to the last phase of the interview process at a FinTech company for a data analysis internship but failed Analytical Thinking portion of the interview. I got an internship doing data science for the federal government instead, but would be more interested in pursuing a path in the private industry. My program would allow me to take the time off again to do another internship, and the recruiter didn't mention a limit to when I could apply again (just to keep in touch). I have applied again for the same internship for Summer 2026, is it worth reaching out to the recruiter to let them know that I applied again? Or would it be better to reach out to the person who interviewed me?
