Hi Amit, It was nothing wrong with your application, you did your best. As Tom already said, we had only 5 slots and could take only a small number of students. The competition was intense, I suggest you to not give up and if eligible apply next year, or get involved outside of GSoC.
Thank you all the students that applied to ArgoUML. Congratulations to all accepted students.
