Some of the admits and rejections just don’t make a lot of sense

Yes, to you they dont. Everyone obviously wants to think they are very qualified/very good at what they do. But, most people, although they KNOW, dont fully understand the competition out there. For every activity you do (or say you do), probably 5000 other applicants do the same thing. Schools look for various things. They know why you were rejected. Just because you dont understand doesnt mean that it is a lottery. Most of this “college admissions is a crapshoot” is denial speaking. You can usually call them and ask why you were rejected (although sometimes they dont like to reveal). But seeing how I have know many people to be accepted to all their universities, a method is evident.
