Admissions Question

[poppygaichik]

If you are/were a successful USCGA applicant who gained admission, what do you think were some of the determining factors that helped you get in? Obviously it is different for everyone, and I understand that in no way does replicating similar factors assure admission, but I am still curious and hoping for some inspiration from people to see if there are certain things that I can emphasize in my application, that I may not have though of.
