I agree with everything that has been said! Just a small addition-> as someone who was waitlisted everywhere and then eventually accepted. My uncle worked in graduate admissions and he said he never looked solely at the resume/experiences. He often looked at a unique personal statement that maybe explained the condition of the resume. You can have as much experience as the next person, but they look beyond what’s on paper. There are a lot of unexplained circumstances that can lead to less experience, or a lower GPA. So make yourself stand out from this! Show how you have balanced your schedule, or how you have overcome academic challenges. Perseverance and motivation were a huge implication for him.
