A lot of people don't seem to think we're serious about the whole 'Yes, you have to write more than 'please give me an account' to get in' thing, so a huge number of the (first) applications are, shall we say, brief. Most of those people never bother to apply again, but some of them try again, and often do a lot better on the second try. I'd guess that probably 50% of the people who get accepted do so on their second (or third...) application.
And anyway, persistance is a virtue.
