Sure. While prior experience in policy debate is a strongly recommended prerequisite for membership on the team, policy debaters of all stripes have found success at Northwestern. In fact, precisely half of the students on our National Debate Tournament Championship teams in the 1990’s and 2000’s are from high schools that do not debate on the high school national circuit.
