In my opinion, I believe the things that stand out the most would have to be leadership/volunteering experience. I also believe essays play a huge part in your application as well!

Great question!

I'd say telling about yourself, where you come from, or something you're really passionate about such as an extracurricular, or something you simply love to do. I think something that I find unique about someone is a lesson they've learned in life or an experience someone hasn't forgotten. Or about a place you've volunteered at. YOUR ESSAY IS A BIG ONE AS WELL!!

Hopefully, this helps!
