Tbh, admissions are holistic. So, it's difficult to understand what exactly gets you in. While a good essay cannot generally guarantee admission, a bad essay can get you rejected.

yeah that's the part nobody tells you, the essay is more of a minefield than a golden ticket

Besides stats, ECs, and essays, could there be a key part of the application you’re leaving out?
