Excellent recommendation from advisor, faculty who worked with me for mathematical research and campus diversity

I want to compete in NCAA fencing and apply for colleges with fencing program.
I’m applying for UW - Madison, UT - Austin, UNC - chapel hill and have schools with fencing program in mind but not sure I have any shots. I’m planning to contact coaches after fencing NAC in Mar because I don’t have any competition record in the United States.

Please be critical and suggest realistic goals for me
