If you get a rejection from a referral, are you told the reason for the rejection?

No, no reason is given. I find the 'selectin cmte' to be a very archaic and secretive process. IMO, if your child has the scores he/she should be in in AAP automatically. I think the only kids who should maybe be rejected are those w/o scores (meaning they failed to reach the benchmark on either the nnat or cogat) and the parent referral file was weak. I am NOT saying all of such cases should be rejected, I am saying that those are the only kids that should be rejected, as the kids in-the-pool (meaning they met the benchmark on either the nnat or cogat) have already proven their ;worth' for AAP.

Thankfully Center eligibility is not based on a single test score on a single day.

3. The identification process used by each school division must ensure that no single criterion is used to determine a student's eligibility. The identification process shall include at least three measures from the following categories:
a. Assessment of appropriate student products, performance, or portfolio;
b. Record of observation of in-classroom behavior;
c. Appropriate rating scales, checklists, or questionnaires;
d. Individual interview;
e. Individually administered or group-administered, nationally norm-referenced aptitude or achievement tests;
f. Record of previous accomplishments (such as awards, honors, grades, etc.); or
g. Additional valid and reliable measures or procedures.

Most of those criteria are vague or subjective.

Not if they have been prepped for the tests. Hence the need for confirmation through GBRS.
