Why did I not get in?

it was probably just unlucky… i applied and got into the political science department with about the same gpa but a much lower sat (1950). i had far less extra curriculars, almost none in fact…

the only difference i see is that i took more ap exams and that could’ve been the deciding factor. a high gpa is nice but to the admissions people it may’ve looked like you didn’t take the most difficult courses offered.

why do you want to know anyway?
