I swear this was a thread last summer.
Yes it can happen. Because she's not "elite" in the eyes of the coaches.

However, I think what it probably means the coaches are clueless. I'm sticking with that reason.

It is not "fixed" but it is not an open competition for every spot. There are so many variables that go into getting selected. It seems the trick is to make the pool at an early age. The older you are, the harder it is to make the pool. You would really need to stand out to bump a player who has already been IDed. Just as it is hard to bump an incumbent from an established team.

Yes, they can be overlooked. The coach is looking to fill positions. Some of these positions have been filled (deservedly) by the same girls for years and bumping them out is all but impossible unless their talent peaks. If this happens, or girls drop out or have club commitments the week of camp, some new people can slide in.
At the older age groups, only the first 18 girls really get any real reward. The others selected for the pool are just great Facebook updates for their parents and a line in their Top Drawer bio.

Isn't the first and won't be the last time league and club affiliation influence the selection process. A few years back there was a kid in my daughters age group who was clearly a stand out that didn't get a sniff because of her club affiliation. She started as a freshman at a top local D1, playing at a higher level than only a couple other local players on the regional team. Life isn't fair.
