Well, sir (or madam), why are you applying?
The best advice I got is... well, I'm keeping that to myself. But do some research about the school. Make a list. Check it twice. There must be something about a school that makes you want to attend it beyond "Well, they have this MD program, I looked at the stats and I think I could get in, and USC is in So. Cal - so I could easily jumpstart my adult film career and get an education at the same time...." (my movie name is going to be "Dr. Sweetcheeks".)
I wouldn't rely on a "formula answer." You want to stand out and they get thousands of applicants.
Best of luck.
