2.12) Are different sections of the MCAT more or less important than other sections?

Yes. The essay section is less important than the other sections.
Your essay score is impressive if it is extremely high (S or T) and
is detrimental if it is extremely low (J or K). However, any score
in between has little or no impact on your application. Be sure to
demonstrate your writing abilities to medical schools by composing a
well-written personal statement essay.
