<p>allaboutSAT-
It might be something as simple as…</p>
<p>-Your application didn’t tell a coherent narrative about who you are and why colleges should admit you.
-You came off as a jack of all trades, master of none (too many ECs without a common theme).
-You come from a school seen as having weak academics.
-One of your recommendations contained a phrase which struck the committees as indicating a weakness (e.g., “hard worker”=dull, not so bright).
-Your essay struck the readers as fake, overworked, indicative of an entitled attitude, etc.)
-You didn’t show schools the love, i.e., you passed up opportunities to connect with the college through visits, information sessions or interviews.
-There were simply stronger applicants.</p>
<p>Good luck with your remaining three applications.</p>
