I am curious how important these items are to Stanford Adcoms by rank: resume, essays, application form, recommendation, GMAT, GPA (and content of transcript). Any opinion, guys?
I'm an applicant myself, and definately no expert on this, but I'm not so sure it's a rank thing - I guess that the overall profile it's what matters, and all elements should lead to that.
Resume and essays should definately be polished as best as possible; GPA - it's probably too late to do anything about it anyways, and a good GMAT meas you're ready to tackle the academic level... but I doubt a good GMAT can diferentiate too much, as many people bring good GMAT scores, especially at a school like Stanford.
