if you’re a historically underrepresented minority or reside in a community where the education system isnt that great, then participation in MESA might be taken into account by the UC adcoms, who like to see URMs and educationally disadvantaged students who are successful in such outreach/enrichment programs.

but also think about your career interests. if you’re science or math oriented, consider MESA.

usually academic decathlon looks better on a college application though.
