Well the International Competition means mainly the US and about 5 - 10 other countries. However DECA (a marketing club, which looks good for busienss maybe)is really big in the US, it is in every public high school (by law) and there are 170,000 students in the organization. There are different events and in my event I was top ten. However, I don't know if the admissions people know all this so it sounds really good doesnt it anyway, lol. But I would say it is the equivalent of beinga top winner in a respectable national competition.

So you say with higher SAT scores you think I could not only get into UPenn, but actually handle the coursework when I am a student. Also, you're saying if it doesn't go up just do ED to Stern even though UPenn may be a better choice for me, but if I didn't do ED to Stern I may not get into either Stern or Penn?

Thanks
