## Resource

In this episode, Ben is joined by Autumn Lockett to react to a law school admissions office’s ranking of nine application components. We go through the list in order and talk about what seems right, what seems questionable, and what applicants should take away from it. The conversation covers things like GPA, LSAT scores, personal statements, recommendations, resumes, optional essays, interviews, and how much weight these pieces actually carry in the admissions process. The big takeaway: not every part of the application matters equally, and applicants should be careful about treating official admissions advice as though every component is equally important.
