Thank you for the reply. Can you please also shed some light on the standard of acceptance of DDW?

Did you submit an abstract written in more or less complete sentences, mostly in English?

Abstracts at all the huge national meetings get accepted. Obviously not all of them, but the bar is low in general. I've submitted abstracts for work I haven't even done yet and had them accepted. Including DDW, AACR, ASCO.

The goal isn't getting the abstract accepted - the goal is producing quality research that is likely to be an oral or podium presentation. Those are the things that really impact your application. So find a good project and devote yourself to it. A lot of times people spread themselves too thin and submit 4 abstracts of low quality which just makes you look unfocused. Your abstract to manuscript ratio is important - bad abstracts don't turn into full manuscripts usually or at least not in good journals.
Also, DDW > ACG in terms of impact.
