Is it possible to get rejected by colleges despite your qualified GPA?

Google the term “Tufts Syndrome”. Some colleges will reject applicants if they have a reason to suspect that their college is the fail-safe backup plan and the student isn’t enthusiastic about applying. Nobody wants to feel like someone’s last resort. Your stats would make you a likely admit for colleges with those averages, if you also make sure that they know that there is a decent chance that you would attend if admitted.
