everyone gets rejected

A classmate who was rejected last week went to talk to the registrar. The registrar told him -- after making sure it was off the record -- that almost everyone gets rejected at first, and then some people get through on their appeal.

The person who makes the first determination is not involved at all with the appeal (a committee evaluates your residency request and then sends a recommendation to the University president, who makes the final call). Maybe enough people don't appeal that it's cost-effective to do it this way? Or maybe the first determination guy is way more restrictive than the appeals committee?
