I recall a similar scenario where we had to choose between leveraging existing dashboards and creating a new one. It seems like using the Admissions Insights dashboard could save time.

I feel like the Advisor Insights dashboard is more focused on student interactions rather than application stats, so it might not be the right choice here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember practicing a question where creating a custom dashboard was recommended for more tailored metrics.

Hmm, I'm a bit torn on this one. The question doesn't give us a lot of detail on the specific requirements, so I'm not sure if the pre-built dashboards will cover everything. I think I'll start by reviewing those options, but I may end up needing to create a custom dashboard to ensure we hit all the key metrics.

Okay, I think I've got a plan. I'll start by looking at the Admissions Insights and Advisor Insights dashboards to see if they cover the required metrics. If not, I'll create a custom dashboard to track application status, totals, and comparisons to previous periods.

I'm a little unsure about this one. Do the Admissions Insights or Advisor Insights dashboards already have the functionality we need, or would I need to build something custom? I'll have to review the documentation carefully.
