Dear kvin2kool, with the scores mentioned by you Aditya will get admission into all the colleges other than college 3. But in the question it is given that
Aditya did not get a call even from a single college which means he did not get admission from any of the six colleges and I think you have mistaken it for
"did not get a call from one of the colleges".
Regards
