Do Colleges (specifically Engineering schools) like applicants who have done debate for all of high school. I have done it for 3 years, have one of the biggest officer roles for it in the club, won many awards, and am a Debate All-American. Will this help me a lot?
A lot? Not as much as a great transcript and test scores. It’s a 4th or 5th level importance, if at all.
Sorry to hijack but, what kind of debate awards are helpful to top tier schools? Like do varsity local awards hold any value or is it all on national awards?
