Anyone else get straight up rejected with reasonable stats?

Similar to what bluebayou and scottj stated, a friend of mine who worked as an adcom at two top-20 schools once told me they will never ever discuss why an applicant was rejected.

Aside from it being something they had no intention or desire to do, she said many times it’s impossible to go back revisit an application to try and recreate the reason for a rejection. That “discussion” is long gone.

Instead, she stated they made sure they could always look back at an “accepted” application and state why an applicant was accepted.
