Hi, I was wondering how good being selected as a Conrad Challenge finalist is for college applications? Like compared to deca icdc awards, and other things. Thanks!
I would apply to the best schools for you. Some awards may hold weight. Some may not. Conrad is open to all. You’ll have to define what it is, how special it is that you won.
What you do is more important than what it is.
But in general, your academics including rigor will matter most as will your test score and ECs such as sports, band/theater or a job.
Good luck
I was not familiar with it, but I looked it up and it sounds like something solid to include on your applications in your activities, essays, or both.
