求解被拒的理由

网申系统里状态还是pengding，通知邮件里有这么一段话：

"We realize our decision may be disappointing. It is important to note that this decision is based on many factors.For example, we only accept Ph.D. students when there is a strong mutual interest between an applicant and a CIS faculty member. Therefore, this decision should not be considered as an assessment of your potential for graduate studies."

我查了我提交的申请，有这么两个选项（这两项我都填了，填的时候也没多想）：

Select up to four areas from the following list:
List up to four research faculty members you are interested in working with.

虽然我这样的背景被拒也没什么可说的，但是还是想弄清楚，按照邮件里这段话，对于申MS来说，这两项应该空着不填吗？还是说他只是随便找了一个拒的理由？
邮件里根本没有提到我的**,低TG。

网申状态还是pending。手抖拼错了。
