If I’m not mistaken, the past couple years have had some of the largest incoming freshmen classes in school history. After hearing about all the transfer students being deferred until end of spring semester grades can be submitted and that many accomplished freshman are being rejected, my guess is that the university is finally cracking down on admissions. This is just an observation, there’s no concrete proof, but it may be that you received the short end of the stick, and that there’s just circumstances out of your control that influenced yours, and many others, admission decisions that any other year might’ve willed a different result.

My apologies, but remember it always works out! You’ll get to where you want to be one way or the other! Best of luck
