I’m sorry to hear about your situation. While meeting the basic requirements is important, universities often have more applicants than available spots, which means other factors can influence their decisions. These may include:

1. Application Strength: Universities consider various elements such as motivational letters, references, and extracurricular activities.

2. Competition: The competition in your chosen program might have been particularly strong.

3. Application Timing: Early applications can sometimes have an advantage.

4. Quota and Diversity: Some programs have quotas or aim for a diverse student body, which can impact decisions.

To gain insights, you could contact the admissions office of the university to ask for specific feedback on your application. They might provide more context or advise on future steps. Additionally, consider exploring other options or pathways to achieve your career goals.
