I’m in Canada, and this past year, the University I attended had to reject thousands of applicants, even though all of them met the requirements. This is because the school couldn’t accommodate the number of students that applied.

Hope this helps… and remember that it’s not going to be the same for every college (it does depend on the size and number of applications received).

You might try going somewhere else and transferring in after a year. If you’re grades are good it’s a good bet that they’ll take you. Try to align the classes you take with those that they will accept at the school where you will want to eventually go.

example- 19,000 people apply to duke university each year and only 1600 get accepted.

even if all 19000 met the requirements, colleges like that can afford to be extremely selective and only accept the best of the best.
