Debating in NSD

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I'm planning to apply to NSD (National Symposium of Debate) this year, and i'm wondering if any of you:</p>

<p>1) have applied and/or have been accepted (in which case, congrats :D )
2) know anyone who has gone, and what they've said about it
3) simply know info about it</p>

<p>I'm considering doing either that or Stanford's EPGY writing. Any advice?</p>

<p>Also, as an international student, does that immediately disqualify me for the NSD?</p>

<p>bumpp :D i want to know about this NSD</p>

<p>It's a relatively new program, though the debaters who I've talked to have generally loved the program.</p>

<p>If you're an international student I wouldn't advise NSD.</p>

<p>NSD is aimed at a VERY specific form of debate called Lincoln-Douglas debate. I am not sure if that's what you type of debate you do.</p>

<p>Also the camp has more emphasis on technical skills in terms of LD Debate then anything else.</p>
