<p>Bowdoin College in Maine also has a very strong debate program.<br>
What kind of debate do you do?</p>
<p>I'm thinking about doing parliamentary debate. I'm applying to NW, Dartmouth, and the other Ivies.</p>
<p>However, I had one of my team mates, a policy debater, say, repeatedly, that he is depending on a debate scholarship (For some reason, he believes he is going to get a full ride.) He's academically weak, and he claims USC contacted him about a partial scholarship for only policy debate. Honestly, I think he's full of it. Has anyone ever heard of someone getting a full-ride scholarship from debate? (He's not even national circuit atm. He won second in a small novice tourney, convinced he's the next big thing.)</p>
<p>There are full scholarships for debate (only policy as far as I know). Emory and USC are two that I know of that have debate scholarships. I don't know how competitive the scholarship at USC is but Emory's is extremely competitive and only the best high school debaters have a shot at it.</p>
<p>I respectively disagree t-san.
If McGill was in the US, It would be on part with JHU and maybe Brown.
If UoT was in the US, I would say it would be on par with...UCal or Michigan,UW. Both are large and public.</p>
<p>jptoor, if you're looking to do parli, I'm not sure if Northwestern is your best bet. They have a fantastic policy team, but their parli seems to have dropped off the map the past few years (ranked 84th on NPDA in 05-06, 252 in 06-07, and not at all last year). The Ivies would all be fine places to do parli.</p>
