The speed was too fast, my summary was rejected by Appliy Science and then turned to this one.

The same thing happened from November last year to March this year. Three papers were submitted to MDPI, all of which were rejected by the template. Three papers were submitted to three journals, and the rejection contents and reasons were exactly the same. One of them was even invited to submit, but it was rejected a few days after submission, without being sent for review. I don't know what's going on. Then I submitted to other non-MDPI journals. Regardless of whether they are accepted or not, they can all be sent for review. Currently, one paper has been accepted, and two papers are under review. I can't figure out the reason. I checked for plagiarism before submitting, but now I'm too afraid to submit to MDPI journals.

I want to ask what is a template rejection. Does "under review" mean it hasn't been rejected?

I would like to ask the teachers for some advice. The reviewer asked me to change my 163 email to an institutional email, but we do not have an institutional email. What should I do? How should I reply? Is there still a chance to fix this?
