fair.
In general, organizations have a limited number of slots and usually get
more applications than slots.
If there are great candidates who have expressed interest in a task and
have already gotten involved (e.g. by providing an initial contribution)
it might happen that a mentor already has one or more strong preferences
(I don't know the exact wording of the conversation that you had).
So from a different angle, it might be even fair to tell someone that
their chances are low. Depends on what people consider "fair". :)
Are there any further tasks that interest you?
In any case, I hope that you will find a great task and mentor!
