How do you determine how valuable softs are? I hear the terms T1-T4 softs often and don't know what differentiates each tier. Do great softs and a great LSAT outweigh a low GPA? For example, I was a D1 athlete for 5 years, almost a year of work experience at a law firm, international passion project in undergrad, and first-generation student with an MBA that showed an upward GPA trend. Do these all fall into "softs" and if so, which ones ACTUALLY impact my application positively?
