<p>What is fire spinning?</p>

<p>I'd give you a good shot--pending this question: how dubious or serious is the honor of "National Debate Champion" and how did you win it?</p>

<p>If the honor truly is exceptional, you have a great chance; if not, well, then you're just the average Harvard applicant--exemplary student, but nothing screaming "I'm one of the brightest academic stars of my year."</p>

<p>Also--if you are a girl, then you have an extremely good chance. Anyone who has participated in debate, like me, knows that members of the fairer sex are extremely rare occurences at the top levels.</p>

<p>OMG fire spinning is so cool!</p>

<p>You're a good candidate, though if possible I'd try to improve your 730 Math Level 2 Score. It's an easy test to improve on and is probably the most frequent 800-scored SAT test.</p>

<p>If what you said is what I think you mean, then you have a great shot. However, I can't say for sure without knowing your SAT score.</p>
