<p>Can you always inquire as to why your admission got rejected? Not rudely, but to ask so you can better yourself as a person?</p>
<p>I don't know, it might be a completely asinine thing to do. What are your thoughts?</p>
<p>I tried that when I was waitlisted last year for RD but they didn’t give me a straight answer -the one who corresponded was the Associate Director of Admission. Sometimes, they’re kind enough to tell you the reason, often times, they won’t disclose that info due to, I suspect, a) it’s too much of a hassle to skim through old post its about so-and-so? b) they want to avoid any potential lawsuits? </p>
<p><em>shrugs</em> </p>
<p>Still though, no harm picking up the phone and asking anyway.</p>
<p>Yeah I tried that with one school and got an answer (SAT scores not matching the average SAT scores). (This was for RD).</p>
<p>but most don’t disclose them. Definetely can’t hurt to ask though.</p>
