<p>I genuinely enjoy this class. I think it's a fun class and everyone bonds together.</p>
<p>But...</p>
<p>I don't want to screw up my 5.0 weighted GPA next year if it's not worth it.</p>
<p>And...</p>
<p>Do you need to win, or do you just need to be in the class? What if you don't even get on the team? (Or get on the junior team.)</p>
<p>If you don’t even compete but are in the academic decathlon, it’s pretty lame. It’s also unethical (but people probably do it anyway) to say that you compete in the academic decathlon when you are merely in the class.</p>
<p>If you genuinely enjoy it, you’ll probably do well in it. 5.0 weighted is good, it couldn’t possibly be heavily offset by a B or something in the class.</p>
