出国留学申请收到拒信也是十分平常的事情，为什么会收到拒信呢？
1、本科院校排名低
The main reason(s) we are unable to offer you a place is as follows:
I am afraid your academic qualifications are not at an appropriate level for entry onto the programme you have chosen.
2、学校不在认可名单内
Your undergraduate degree was obtained from an institution which is not approved for admission to the University of Glasgow. Please note that unfortunately this means that we are not able to consider you for any other postgraduate degree.
3、均分不够
Unfortunately your application for this course was not successful at this time, the reason is that unfortunately your qualification grades do not meet the University minimum entry requirements.
4、专业背景不合适
Unfortunately your application has been unsuccessful because your previous qualification subject area is not sufficiently relevant for this programme.
However the Department would like to refer your application to the MA Golbal and International Citizenship Education or MA Social Justice and Education.
5、核心课程不合格，没有学够核心课程，或核心课程均分不够
You have not completed the minimum number of core modules for admission to this Master’s degree programme. In addition, the core modules that you have studied are too low for consideration for this programme.
6、PS不够strong，或学习目的与教学目标不符
为数不多的拒信，会写你的PS不够strong，或者，你的学习目标与大学提供的课程不相符。
Thank you for your interest in studying MSc Applied Linguistics. Unfortunately your application has been rejected as your interests do not match the remit of the programme.
7、申请被放在waiting list中
被放在waiting list中的申请，最终也会通知录取或拒绝，如果拒绝，就真的是竞争激烈，没有位置了。
As you are aware, your application was placed on a waiting list. We can now confirm that unfortunately there are no places available for this programme for 2018 entry. This means that we will not be able to make you an offer.
8、竞争激烈
I am sorry that on this occasion we are unable to offer you a place on this course, as applications for our Fashion Masters’ courses are extremely competitive; this year we have received over 1,600 applications for just 200 places, and as places are limited we give preference to those applicants who best meet our selection criteria.
其实，收到以上拒信的同学都是幸运的，至少拒得明明白白。事实上，80%以上的拒信，并不会给出一个具体理由。
9、未达到录取要求，或不给理由
像这样：
We have given your application careful consideration, and unfortunately it has not been possible for us to offer you a place this time. The reason for this decision is because your application does not meet the entry requirement.
或者这样：
Your application for the MA (Taught): Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) (FT) has been carefully considered, but I am sorry to inform you that we are unable to make you an offer. May I thank you for your interest in study at the University of Birmingham.
什么情况下鼓励同学们argue呢？
argue这个词，本身翻译成中文就是“争论、争辩”的意思，只有双方意见不统一，才有争论的动机。
所以，如果学校的评估完全没问题，只是同学们单方面心理不平衡，争论就没有意义了。不如好好想想，我该如何制定更合理的方案，从别处去拿offer。
两种情况下，同学们可以考虑argue：
1）大学没有充分评估你的材料（你没提供，或提供了但学校忽视了）
2）大学错误评估了你的材料，或误解了你的意图
不可否认，有些方面，确实是没办法提*考前**虑的，如果真是你的dream school，不妨一argue，万一就成功了呢！
