What made these few students so lucky as to get accepted?

A hook. If you’re a heavily recruited athlete, URM, developmental admit etc., you may just be that lucky student. Otherwise, it would be quixotic to assume that you have a chance because your credentials are similar to the lowest 1% of accepted students.
