<p>I'm just looking for some general information regarding Dartmouth's debate team--How competitive is it? To anyone who competed in Public Forum in high school, how does Parli compare? How does the D-plan affect competition? </p>
<p>Any general thoughts on the team (sentimental, purely objective, or somewhere in between) would also be appreciated!</p>
<p>bump :)</p>

<p>I exchanged emails with the Dartmouth debate coach, and he confirmed my belief that their policy debate program is one of the best in the country.</p>
<p>The post above is indeed correct that Dartmouth policy is a top-tier program. Too, DDI, which is generally considered the most prestigious high school summer policy debate camp, is held at Dartmouth.</p>
<p>My point of reference: 2nd at NFL Nats in PFD.</p>
<p>Thanks guys! I’m not really interested in their summer program, just the college-level debating, but that’s good to know as well.</p>
<p>And lol IRJunkie, you lost to kids in my state (Durham) then.</p>
<p>Does Dartmouth do Lincoln Douglas or Parliamentary? Policy’s so ridiculously boring</p>
<p>I think most, if not all, college debate is limited to policy.</p>
<p>Dartmouth is a member of the American Parliamentary Debate Association (APDA) </p>

<p>Does anyone know how the D-plan affects debate season?</p>
<p>IRJunkie…you were the 2nd place teams at nats!!! My pf partner and I watched that round and thought that both you and your partner were absolutely fabulous - congratulations on your amazing accomplishment!!!
Do you think you are going to do debate in college?</p>
<p>Does anyone know if Dartmouth’s IE program is at all good?</p>
<p>I’m an oratory guy myself :)</p>
