See my response to iacisrmma regarding RSA.

#6 Finances It may not be affordable for the boy or family for him to be at BMG

This yeshivas are generally for younger bochurim than those who attend BMG. That being said, there are some yeshivos which do have a program for bochurim returning from Eretz Yisroel.

Not accepted is a reason, perhaps wanting to stay closer to home occurs, but I think the number 1 reason would be wanting a smaller yeshiva, with athe opportunity to gain a kesher with the rosh hayeshiva.
