I know you all won't know the facts since you're not on the adcomm, I just want opinions as to what could have gone wrong. He applied in October...

Are you sure you have the right profile link? 3.4/175 getting rejected is not unusual at all...

So even the 175 doesn't balance it out? That hurts! lol

He lists himself as an URM (Hispanic). Pretty surprising that he got rejected with those numbers, IMO.

Only Mexicans and Puerto Ricans get URM boost. Could be dirt poor Guatemalan or Columbian and they wouldn't give a damn.
