Transferring to CS from IT is impossible

I met all the requirements. I had an 8.0 GPA (6.3 across my three maths courses). I had taken MATH1300 & 1310 as well to get some required CS courses. I was denied.

Someone I knew with an 8.5 GPA was also denied.

It's either practically impossible or the advice that everyone else has given is wrong (e.g. that only GPA matters so long as you meet the minimum requirements).

I've emailed asking for the rationale behind the denial, but I don't expect much.

EDIT: Received a response. Program's just full. Kinda strange that they're completely and utterly full for the first time in what seems to be multiple years, but, at least for this year, it was completely impossible. Nothing anyone could've done.
