Confused about question on application re: admissions criteria

Hi all, I have an app asking about my preferred primary method of evaluation. TLDR: It wants to know if I want them to primarily use LSAT and GPA or look at other factors like my interests and accomplishments
I feel like it's a tough question to answer but in the long run it probably won't matter. My LSAT at the very bottom/slightly outside of their range and GPA at the very top.... applicants may indicate that they want their application considered primarily on educational or employment experiences, personal or academic accomplishments, community service, socioeconomic background, extraordinary family circumstances, and the contribution the applicant will make to the overall diversity in the school. Under this alternative, less, though still significant, emphasis is placed on LSAT and UGPA. If you choose this option, include in your personal essay a detailed description of your background, experiences, and accomplishments. Please check one of the following:
