Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
Scoring above 250 guaranteed admission, so anyone not admitted cannot have scored above 250. The statement gives no information about her exact score, whether she sat the paper, or any other programme, so the remaining options add details that cannot be drawn from the text.
