Of these criteria, the first four are usually the most heavily weighted. As a general rule of thumb, the more competitive the school, the less room there is for weakness in any one of these areas.

The advantage of this system is that it allows you to compensate for problem areas. Even if you have a low GMAT score, evidence of a high GPA, quantitative work experience, or the completion of an accounting or statistics course will provide a strong counter-balance. No one single thing counts more than everything else. Your scores, work experience, and essays should give the admissions committee a clear idea of your capabilities, interests, and accomplishments. Any particular weakness can be overcome by a particular strength in another area, so make sure you emphasize whatever strengths you have and don't take them for granted.
