Hello!
As much as I agree with most of* your points, you don’t necessarily need to write an essay or have 100 links on your app. Some denied apps were even longer than the accepted ones.
The most important thing is having a COMPLETE staff application. Saying half baked answers or saying 10 times the same thing in the same question are both not what makes a good app!
And even though having some links help, I would argue that what is more important is how you are as a person and what are your motivations !
I highly recommend reading this guide written by the amazing @EsioTrot it’s very complete on how to make a good app
