-founded an international organization with hundreds of members
-has received stuffloads of awards for his activism
-founded a youth consulting firm
-worked for the o'malley presidential campaign
-was personally commended by the POTUS for his activism
-worked as an intern at the state department
-completed over 600 hours of community service over his high school career
-probably got a near-perfect or perfect score on his SAT

If I was working on an admissions committee and a similarly-decorated student applied without an essay, I would still accept them.
The whole point of an essay is to give a university's adcom a better picture of a student's character and personality. Ziad's character and personality is evident through his incredibly extensive role in activism, entrepreneurship, politics, and community service. The essay just reaffirmed his passion for championing social causes, which is really all it needed to do.
