Correct- we don’t know why. But my logic here is this: 35 didn’t help, so I doubt a 1490 will help either. Of course that’s assuming that the OP has similar circumstances to my daughter. Around here, it seems like you need that 36/1580 to get in no matter how good the other stuff is.
On the other hand, maybe I’m just bitter 
EDIT: OP did not mention RD or ED. I am assuming RD.
