I would hope that some rejected applicants, especially those who are rightfully perplexed by the rejection, would question Adcoms’ decisions, if only to keep colleges honest.



In an ideal world, you can make the exact same argument about questioning HR or hiring manager decisions when it comes to jobs in the working world.

However, everyone I knew of who has attempted to do so from what I’ve heard from HR colleagues at a few places and witnessed in one case has ended up being politely ignored at best and if as persistent as Dad3 suggests…had security show up to immediately hustle them out of their offices while they shake their heads at the sheer cluelessness of not understanding how a NO actually means a NO.
