can anyone explain to me how i got rejected from uci?

i’m a film major with a 3.9 gpa (literally all A’s except for the B i got in econ 😭), have an editing job, experience with film outside of school, 2000+ volunteer hours, honors student and did the honors to honors program for uci, have done an internship and camp with uci specifically, will get an associates degree for film this june, i’m a california resident, etc. and thought my essays were pretty strong…

i got into lmu’s film school with a merit scholarship so it just confuses me… since i really like uci, i was still considering going even while already getting into lmu. not even getting waitlisted at uci also just makes me really scared for ucsb, ucla, and usc decisions T-T
