| Feb 2, 2014 at 14:18 | comment | added | pjamu | @Phlume Yes my GRE was well above average and my undergrad CGPA well was not outstanding..but then this university was judged as a good bet for my profile! | |
| Feb 2, 2014 at 13:54 | comment | added | Phlume | Did you score well on the GRE? How was your undergrad GPA? There are many many factors...perhaps it is no "one thing" My suggestion is to simply do your best to try again. | |
| Feb 2, 2014 at 13:48 | comment | added | Phlume | Do you care to share the degree you sought after and possibly the school. Perhaps the studies were highly competitive fields and the application was submitted late in the review process and the spots were filled? | |
| Feb 2, 2014 at 13:48 | comment | added | pjamu | @T.F. Could it be because I specified a very specific interest area which I thought the grad school was into. Is it possible that they rejected because it doesn't fit into what they do? | |
| Feb 2, 2014 at 13:44 | comment | added | superuser0 | You should analyse your application; if the factors that are easy to compare like grades, subjects, etc. leave you wondering then maybe your cover letter or your letters of recommendation were not compelling enough? | |
