As Buff81 says it is not possible to tell you why your candidate was not selected. You mentioned some very competitive stats. However, you did not mention leadership positions and physical fitness scores which are critically important.
Also, cadidates do not know their scores on interviews, teacher recommendations, and candidate essays. I think most candidates and their parents assume that their DS scored high on all of these areas but that is absolutely NOT true. When the qualifications of many candidates are very close, these items can be "tie breakers".
