<p>I was just wondering... Is it true that if you win the Academic Decathlon, a few schools will "look" for you (as in offer spots in their school)? If so, are the schools who do so top tier schools?</p>
<p>Sorry but "bump"</p>
<p>it might be true, but it won't be top tier schools that offer you a place. Ut'll be like Tulane or something like that.</p>
<p>As far as I know, schools definitely make it a point to look at you (especially if you are on the winning team). My school has won Aca Deca 5 times and I have known quite a few of the people on the team. They are all at excellent schools on scholarships, Stanford, Harvard, etc.</p>
<p>Hmm were any of your friends who have been accepted to those fantastic schools part of the B or even the C team?</p>
<p>I was in Academic Decathlon my junior year but have not really received any special attention from colleges just for that reason alone. I have gotten spam from many colleges for PSAT results and the like but not for participating on the AcDec team.</p>
<p>I know a girl who goes to my university. (top 20 school in eng. and business) she was on the c team 2 years. i was on the b team 1 semester</p>
<p>I'm not sure if AcDec does strictly on its own. Competitors just tend to be rather driven.</p>
<p>That said, I've heard of very positive college admissions results for some of the Decathletes I know.</p>
