<p>Your stats are enviable to say the least. You must have been a victim of Wash U’s over-qualified waitlist. I wish I could chance you, but I am in the exact same situation you are, except I was accepted to Wash U for the January Program. All I can say is: good luck!</p>

<p>Thank you! That makes me feel a lot better- crazy nervous about NWern, I really want to debate for the best debate school in the country.</p>

<p>I know how you feel, I’m also a four year debater, numerous state champ but could never go to state because my school is not technically in the NFL-kinda sucked. Honestly you don’t have a reason to be nervous!</p>
