<p>I am a nationally ranked public forum debater, top 16 in the nation, and will be applying to Stanford this coming year. I was wondering if Stanford looks proudly on debate. I know Harvard, Yale, and Oxford have some of the best debate teams in the world and they recruit for debate as well. Does Stanford do something like this? Should I send in a debate resume to the Stanford coach and will they regard debate strongly?</p>
<p>Bump?</p>
<p>Stanford officially only “recruits” top national/international level athletes…and, if you are asking if they “recruit” for top debaters…the answer would be “no”…</p>
<p>…many of the top musicians, actors, debaters, artists, writers, math whizzes, international Olympiad winners, Intel-Siemens winners, computer/engineering/robotics winners, highly successful high school entrepreneurs…all would love to be recruited…but, once again…they do not…:(( </p>
