Yes, colleges reject overqualified students not because they’re overqualified but because the admissions committees feel that these brilliant students may not accept their schools’ offer of admission at the end of the day. The space allotted to them may become wasted.
Can a university overturn a rejection?
Yes you can appeal rejections at many colleges. It RARELY works. I only recommend that students appeal if some key evidence was missing from the original application.
What happens if I get rejected from every college?
An additional option is to enroll in community college. You could get a two-year degree; you could go for a period of time and then transfer to a four-year school; or you could do both: get your two-year degree and then transfer to get a four-year degree.
Should I reapply to a university that rejected me?
Do not rush into anything. You might find other good options while re-applying or moving on to look at other universities. The general rule to applying to other universities after receiving a rejection is that you still have the option to re-apply to the same university that sent you the rejection.
