Not that important. Unless it is egregiously poorly written (which will affect you negatively), it won't really do much.

It's a number based game.

It probably means a little more for schools with a "Why X?" section.

pretty important if you're a competitive splitter (one of GPA/LSAT above median, another below median).

By competitive I mean 3.3/171 for Penn, not 2.5/180 for Penn or 4.0/150 for Penn.
