To Non DEIs from Target School: how did you make it out the trenches?

Have been hearing a lot of talk about non dei's having terrible conversion rates - even considering backing out of recruiting for SA 27 (as a rising soph) cuz im afraid ill pour so much time & effort and end up striking out like a lot of ppl have experienced

For those that had no special prior connections, how did you break in and what dy think set u apart from the hundreds , if not thousands, of qualified, perfectly hardworking kids who didnt make the cut?
