I applied to Stanford through the early decision process and was rejected. I want to know why and whether or not I have the right by law to ask for a reaosn as to why I was rejected. Is this legal?

You don't have a "legal" right to the information...but most schools will give you some indication of what you would have to do to be admitted in the future. Since you applied early decision...you are probably still in the running for admissions under regular terms..you don't want to threaten legal action..rather you want to appear interested in the school and helping them to know you are a good fit...you might also ask them if there is any additional information you can provide them that would be helpful.

It is a private college and they can reject or select anyone as they wish. Not everything is a legal case.

Go ahead and ask. I don't know of a single person who asked a college, public or private, why they got rejected and who weren't told.

It is legal to ask the question. They may not have to answer though!
