Mock Trial or Academic Decathalon

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>So in the state of Texas, both state competitions for Mock Trial and Academic Decathaon are held on the same weekend. So obviously I can't do both. Which one would benefit me getting into ivy leagues the most? I want to be a lawyer but that's graduate school right? And Harvard doesn't have a pre law program. Also, I don't want to major in history or government but something sciency but then go to Harvard law? What do you guys think?</p>

<p>My school always goes to both competitions at the state level but never advances further than that.</p>

<p>Neither will help you significantly unless you are passionate enough to utterly destroy your competition. Ac Dec is insane. Top kids study 50 hours a week the month before the competition. Good luck.</p>

<p>I’ve done both. Mock trial for four years and academic decathlon for the last two years in high school.
If you think you want to become some type of attorney I encourage you to join mock trial. You will be able to get a better grip of what goes on in a trial.
Oh and btw, when you join they tell you every role is important (which is true I guess) but you get more experience being an attorney.</p>
