Based on the information you have given, I would have put it at even money you would have gotten rejected from GMU.
Schools do this all the time: they reject people who they assume must be using their schools as safeties. It's a classic "yield manipulation" play, designed to avoid giving offers to candidates who are very unlikely to take them. (For example, a friend of mine with very good credentials in high school who went to Harvard got rejected from Tufts for no apparently good reason.)
Also, 17 schools?!? I have to give you credit for one of the most extensive and most wide-ranging (both in terms of type of school and location) college lists I've ever seen. You must have gotten crushed on the application fees, though...
