well, it’s a soft rejection, and could be because of something else.
last year was a boom year for college admissions, with too many applications and too many people going to many colleges than expected.
it could be a way to keep you there, if you are borderline.
of course, it could also be because of missed stuff-did your guidance counselor mess up somewhere? (mine did, for the college i’m actually attending right now)
then again, it could be because you should be rejected, but they dont want to hurt your feelings (rich/famous parents, alumni, legacy, etc).
