Yale will heavily weigh letters/essays?

I know none of us are admissions officers…(uh…if you are…I’m in love with Yale, especially because in the 1840’s Charles Salisbury taught there, and Whitney was his student and Lanmann was his student, and they’re all cited in the Sanskrit texts I enjoy reading so much…),

AHEM, getting back to my query; How heavily would a top school rate things like that?

Essays
Recs
ECs
GPA
Hooks
Interview

What order should those be in? Is there one?
