<p>My essays are really good in my opinion, but then again that is a subjective matter.</p>

2

<p>you have an alright chance
your weaknesses are obviously your GPA and your race.
sucks.</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance, but as always, Stanford is gonna be real tough. Best of luck to you! Hopefully we both get in!</p>

<p>But Public Forum? Come on.. Policy Debate is where it's at!</p>

4

<p>haha collegeapp09, i can't stand policy! it's so detail oriented and fails to understand the general concepts of the debate - it's all about reading off the most cards in the most time... not my style. so except the GPA, do i stand a pretty good chance?</p>

<p>Agreed about reading off of cards and how speed reading plays too much of a factor, but I think it's a ton more time-pressured than LD or public forum. That way it allows for more of thinking on your feet and generally requires more skill. But I can understand how you don't like it. I tried public forum for a tourny and didn't like it at all. Like grand crossfire is such a dumb concept.. Anyways, I guess it all depends on your essays how good they end up being and if you took a lot of AP courses before senior yr.</p>

<p>My GPA is also my biggest hurdle, so hopefully that doesn't play a HUGE role. I don't think it will, but ya never know.</p>

<p>Oh and Indian pride! lol</p>

6

<p>bump me up?</p>

<p>perhaps others are interested in chancing me? btw, the essays are REALLY good and pretty original so that's something else to chew on.</p>
