Ok, now that's it's too late anyway, is the online section we fill in so important - not the essays, all the stuff they ask you about your job and hobbies?
I mean, I filled it in, I payed close-ish attention to all the job related descriptions, but I sort of quickly filled in all the hobbies stuff; I didn't read it 10 times like I did with the essays.
Probably sounds ridiculous to stress out like this, but how close do adcoms look at that part? Obviously they read it to get some primary info about you, but how much do they take it into consideration?

Perhaps I'm in your stressing out team...
I assumed in all my applications that if they are asking is because they will look carefully at it. I really took good care of all parts and not only the essays. But hey, that's me.
Now answering your question: only Adcom Gods know the answer

For my 2 R1 schools, I quickly filled the rest of the applications just before submitting. Basically I just ignored parts that were not essays. I think that was a big mistake. Now I believe that the rest of the application is very very valuable (Just like the essays). You need to spend time to think how you are going to explain your job-duties, your hobbies etc. Those let you talk about a lot of things that your essays don't give you any space for. Just my opinion.
Oh... holy, of course, COW!!!
