<p>What might help?:</p>

<p>I'm poor...Less than 50k a year.</p>

<p>Solid stats, I think you’re chances are pretty good. :)</p>

<p>Could you guys also chance me for NYU CAS, Cornell CAS, and Northwestern please? Thank you. Major-poli science.</p>

<p>bump please…</p>

<p>What type of debate? Policy?</p>

<p>rejecteddddddddd</p>

<p>LD and Extemp.</p>

<p>May I first and foremost say that I LOVE your username? (well, what your username connotes, anyways. Black’s law has the best definitions…:wink: and the most prestige.) </p>

<p>Seeing your GPA and SATs, I think you’ll make at least the top 30-20% of the applicant pool in Notre Dame. Of course, that’s not a guarantee for admission, but with your extracurriculars, your chances are looking pretty darn good. </p>

<p>As for NYU CAS – pretty good chance there too, Cornell – Well Ivies are a crapshoot, more this year than ever before, so you might get waitlisted or even rejected, but I still think your chances are okay for Cornell as well. Northwestern – I don’t know what exactly they’re looking for, but you should at least be in the running if not a very serious contender. </p>

<p>Funny how many debaters I come across in this forum. BTW, LD trumps any other debate form! I can’t stand policy. ;)</p>
