<p>FBLA. I don’t know how much it boosts your chances for admissions, but you can easily rack up the awards up to the national level, where it gets really intense.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, some topics like Economics get really competitive. Being from California, those topics get incredibly difficult to place well in. I placed 2nd at sections, but with an 89% in Economics, I didn’t even place at state (1st place was like 97%). However, if you have the opportunity to get to NLC, it’s usually pretty fun and a chance to place nationally in a variety of topics.</p>
