keep in mind it’s almost impossible and futile to rank the importance of factors any more than it is to “rank” colleges. but there are probably “tiers” of importance; for isntance collegeboard uses “Very important” “important” etc etc on their evaluation and that’s about as precise as anyone can get when it comes to hierarchically putting the above factors you stated.
