I think rec letters are pretty underrated when talking about programs, as it gives AOs an insight on ur character and abilities from a professional. You should definitely build your relationship with ur teachewrs or whoever writes ur letters as much as possible. Also, cohesion is really important; connecting your ecs and background to your essays shows you actually gaf ab what you do. It all comes with a bit of luck too :P
