Automatic Denials

Is it true that some schools with high application rates automatically reject students whose numbers (GPA, SAT) do not meet the school’s requirements?
Also, could you speak a bit to the difference between acceptances at small liberals? Do these admissions officers tend to view students more holy, as compared to bigger universities?

Thanks.

Except at the top schools, a very low GPA snd SAT will be a denial.

Could you please elaborate?
