Notice it says rigor of coursework. This is not the same as grades or high GPA. They are looking to see if one challenged oneself with the courses offered at a particular school. If the school offers APs, did a student take them, if no APs, did the student take the honors courses and so forth.

There is never a concrete answer as to how much each portion is "weighted." If there's some telling detail in the teacher recommendation, then suddenly that becomes the most important document, and weighs 55 pounds. If there is a beautiful argument in the essay, then suddenly that becomes the most important document, and weighs 61 pounds. Reading an application is like reading a short story. Page 7 does not mean more than Page 3. I think I've said that before...
