<p>Hey mellamokiwi.</p>

<p>I always tell students there is really no magical formula that will promise that you will be accepted. Admissions reviews each application and they want a mix of students with different interests.</p>

<p>Grades are always important as well as your activities. However, with thousands of students applying to the university every year many students that very well may be qualified are not accepted.</p>

<p>Just remember…the essay is the one thing on your application where you can really express yourself. Take some time and put a lot of thought into it!</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
