<p>You really won’t have much of a problem. As a debater, I am sure that your essays will be fantastic, which of course is good for U Chicago. Stanford has a lot lower of an acceptance rate than Chicago EA, which is why it would be harder.</p>

<p>As a fellow debater, and out of personal interest, what type of debate do you do? Your debate accomplishments are undeniably impressive, but I’m having trouble figuring out what type you do. I’m in Congress, but my team doesn’t have the capital to go to tournaments other than those in our state, so I’m also jealous of the fact that you captain a well established program.</p>

<p>Match for UMich. Your SAT is better than ACT.</p>

<p>@Debater1996 I do LD, I’ve always wanted to try Congress but our team doesn’t have anyone doing it and I’ve always done well where I am.</p>

<p>Thanks to everyone for the replies!</p>
