Oh my god, really?? Congratulations!!
Congratulations!
If anyone else got accepted please let us know!!! I don’t see anything in my mailbox yet, now I’m so worried.
Congratulations! @nooora
i got in too!!!
That is so awesome!! Congratulations to you too, that’s amazing.
I think that, for me anyway, the chances are completely eliminated by this point XD
@homeschooledgeek I’m in the same boat, and if you (or anyone else reading this) is feeling discouraged, like I kind of am right now, just know the fact that you care so much says a lot about you, and there will be plenty of other opportunities!!
And a genuine congratulations to everyone who was accepted!! I hope the event is really great and helps you develop your ideas and goals
Congrats! What were the ideas that you submitted?
Has anyone received a rejection letter/email? I haven’t gotten anything in my email box.
for my application, i talked about increasing the accessibility to competitive circuit debate for underrepresented groups in my state through an outreach program that would connect top debate coaches to low income schools, as well as a school mentorship program in which debate schools would allow students from other local schools without a established speech and debate program to be able to learn and hone their craft and compete in tournaments under with the debate school’s team. overall, the purpose of my program was to decrease sexism and racism in the debate space through increasing the diversity in the competitive debate circuit.
I got in!
@kathyarun @homeschooledgeek I’m also feeling pretty discouraged too. I thought I had a really strong essays and a solid, unique issue. I had a dream last night I was wait listed though but it was probably just happy thoughts messing with me. I’m only a rising junior so I guess there’s always next year though! Congrats to everyone who got in!
i’ve been lurking on this thread a bit and i’m also feeling a bit discouraged. i haven’t gotten anything in my inbox yet, but it says on the website that all applicants will be notified of their standing in May. at this point, do you guys think all the acceptances have been released?
i’m crossing my fingers that another batch will be released!
@fluffybear I’m guessing they have. My guess is what they do is they tell those accepted they have a few days to commit they’re going and then they go to the wait list so the rejections are final. That’s my guess of why they send rejections out later than the acceptances.
I just received my rejection email. 
Well there is always next year! Congrats to everyone who got in!
Got my rejection letter too and since I’m a junior there’s no next year for me. Oh well, congrats to all the people who got it
Just got my rejection letter. I’m a sophomore now so I’ll definitely apply again next year!
