<p>You weren’t rejected because you didn’t stand out. Your SAT and ACT scores are too low for most of the schools on your list. Who is advising you to apply to those schools with your scores? Your SAT and ACT are not even close to the 25th percentile for schools like Penn, Michigan, Cornell, Berkeley, Notre Dame or UCLA.</p>

<p>I hope you have some other schools as safeties.</p>

I apologize for my phrasing, but when I said I didn’t stand out, that was a quote from the school.
