Here's one thing I learned about doing competition like these. Don't question your own abilities, just do it. Yes, it is almost guaranteed that some is better than you at it. But that doesn't mean you won't have a chance, and also winning isn't everything. It gives you good practice to solve coding challenges on the spot under time pressure without your grades being at stake.

I went, and the challenges are like what you would see at an interview at the big firms.
