<p>I was wondering how much Harvard values speech and debate. Would being a nationally ranked debater and qualifier to the Tournament of Champions significantly improve chances?</p>
<p>If you are nationally ranked (<a href=“National Tournament 2023 | National Speech & Debate Association”>A statement on George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery | National Speech & Debate Association), I would imagine Harvard would be very interested.</p>
<p>I imagine the event would matter too – Policy would probably look better than PF.</p>
@bowerland
I know this is from like 6.5 months ago but how would adcoms know that policy>pf if they were never debaters themselves? bc it seems like such a small discrepancy to someone unfamiliar with the debate community
Policy is not > than PF…
