And have circumstances beyond your control:
1) Immigrant
2) Teen mom + criminal dad
3) Well, this guy actually did a lot.
4) Have rich parents.
5) Worked hard.
6) Immigrant
7) Gay from the South.
8) Immigrant
9) Worked hard.
10) Worked hard.
11) Puerto Rican from poor part of town.
12) Unsure.

So be a hard-working immigrant whose parents were working class seems like a golden ticket.

I guess random happenings that cause hardship but don't kill you make for a great application essay.
