Why was I rejected (what to change?)

I have applied to fullscreen, and got denied. Im not terribly upset, since I expected it as a small channel. However, the rejection letter was very generic, and gave me little idea for what I need to change to be accepted in the future.
-Is it because I am still too small? (120 subs)
-Is it because of copyrighted content? I took down all music covers, but I suppose there might be some copyrighted content that I missed.
-Is it from something else?
 
It's likely to be the copyrighted stuff, or perhaps it's because of the content in general? It's hard to say when they are so vague :( Fullscreen don't care how small a channel is these days.
 
I'm guessing it was from the copyrighted content. My channel is smaller and I got into fullscreen so that must be it.
 
I have scoured my channel, and don't see anything that is copyrighted, with the possible exception of using call of duty gameplay... All the music I use in my videos is either written and performed by me, or used under the proper license. I do have many videos that have been automatically rejected from being monetized, but they were gameplay commentaries with music used under the proper license with proper attribution. That is actually why I want a network, so that my original content won't get auto-flagged. Even a couple vlogs I have done have been rejected for copyright, when it was 100% original, not even using gameplay or anyone elses music.
 
You have some gameplay with no commentary on it. If you already removed all copyrighted music from your channel, that's likely to be the cause.
 
Gotcha. Does a music montage count as gameplay without commentary? I will take down those videos before applying in the future.

Also, do it need to delete any videos that may have copyright, or is making them private good enough?

You need to have your voice on the audio track to count as commentary, so a music montage would be considered gameplay without commentary.
 
LAME! thanks though.
I edited my post above, but likely you didnt see it. Do I need to delete these videos, or only make them private?[DOUBLEPOST=1373389613,1373389545][/DOUBLEPOST]And also to be clear, I do have copyrighted music on my channel, but they are used with the proper license and attribution.

Making them private doesn't do anything-the content ID system still picks them up, so they're still a liability.
 
Well that is likely what it is then. But I will say. The youtube content ID system kinda sucks. It has flagged original compositions of mine, then when they ask for proof, I say that I am the original artist and link photos of the music, and they deny me anyways. Without being partnered or with a record label, Im not even sure how I could prove to them that it is my original music.
