<p>I've been doing it for 4 years: it requires a ton of time to do really well, and I've placed 5th at nationals in 9th, and may place at nationals again this year, but would these accomplishments be ivy league worthy? It involves serious academic research and analysis, at least to do really well. </p>
<p>sure its ivy league worthy, but that alone wont get you in to those schools</p>
