“is no better than” doesn’t mean “prefer.” Think about it.
In holistic, it all matters, because it’s all you. No matter whether the CDS says X is more important than Y, each app section needs the right experiences.
For holistics, stats and rigor are far from the sole decision points.
No, having an endless list of AP isn’t it.
And OP, you need to know more than superficials to handle your choices and decisions wisely, with maturity.
