What Else Should be Submitted with an Application?

I’ve submitted the following with my applications:
Application
Personal Statement
Resume
Letters of Recommendation required by each school
Is there anything I’m missing that might make me stand out more, or just anything in general that others might submit?

I only did "Why X" if they asked for it.

i'd do them if you are either way above or way below their medians, to show that you have interest in their particular law school and that you'd really want to attend if admitted.

I would submit an outline of your lineage.
Seriously though, your list is fine as long as the school didn't EXPLICITY provide instructions for supplemental submissions.

For some schools a Why X is very important even though they don't specifically ask for one.

Really? Why?
Every 'Why X' statement I have ever read (with the expection of fireparamedicprelaw's) has been boring as hell.

Some schools (UVA and Mich come to mind?) will YP the shit out of you if you don't write one. I don't think it's so much about the content as it is about that extra little bit of effort that they know you're putting in. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong
