Melinda Wang: From Debate Podium to College Acceptance – A 92% Success Story

Dear Laura,

Melinda is now a first-year student at Yale university.

She had a great success in college application last year, was admitted to 11 of 12 schools she applied to. I believe her experience doing policy debate at Kudos was very helpful. It got her passionate about policies and social issues that she later did many projects in high school.

Also, the training prepares her to be a good writer and speaker. Melinda hasn't quite decided on a major yet, but will be in the area of sociology, political sciences, or government.

Yes, it was definitely worthwhile to drive her to Temple city. I am a hands-off parent, but I did do the right thing taking her to Kudos to learn debate. So, thank you.

Bing, Melinda Wang’s mother
