Hey guys,
I recently found out I became at DECA Internationals finalist (Top 10 teams out of a little under 200). What weight does this carry on my college app?
It helps. I was a finalist freshmen year and have been to internationals every year. It does look good on an app, but won’t single handedly get you in to an Ivy.
Because I’m not familiar with the weight such awards have on my application and just so I can have perspective, what’s another comparable award in a different activity?
I know a lot of top DECA people got into Wharton. But most got top 3 ICDC multiple years.
Comparable awards: Debate TOCs (in an easier event), winning 1st at FBLA nats, scoring well on AIME, etc.

Would it be like making it to semifinals at the National Speech or Debate tournament?
