<p>I should also mention that speech & debate really isn’t my fault LOL our club is run by students so it’s trial and error, we don’t have any professional coaches to help us and we started this club a couple of years ago. Our school never had it before so it’s basically a new club and students teach each other if they have the experience. </p>
<p>@OldNassau: thank you for the advice and anecdote. I already didn’t have high hopes and my counselor told me that I was in a relatively okay position to try for them…</p>
<p>@billcsho: thanks for your post! I have a counselor who just says all this fluff and I have no idea where I stand. In your opinion, should I apply for more safe schools then?</p>
<p>@Dream0n: holy crap your stats are amazing. I don’t really have time for an internship (I’m a senior haha) and I have a fall dance show coming up in which I’m choreographing, the debate season coming up, and ofc college apps…:(</p>
