That seems like a question for them. What percentage of people with very good positions were offered seats in time to get a visa? Surely the time to get a visa must be very tight.

I wonder why they rejected you. Are German schools tough to get into?

HTW takes up to a month to decide. Since its deadline was June 15, you almost certainly don't have a place. You might want to apply for the next semester, at different schools, and try to become a better candidate. At this very late stage, you are in a big pool of candidates with better qualifications.

No moreso than other similar quality schools in other countries. Could be a number of factors. It's late into the application cycle so it could be that all the spots have been filled. Or maybe it's because the applicant is from a highly competitive applicant pool - he/she is from India. Or could be other factors too, like the strength of the personal statement, references, etc.
