@howToDecide2017 Yes, Brandeis is very much in the mix. We met with Coach Shipman at JOs in February. My daughter thought him a little brusque, but I felt he was just being honest and straight forward (and she is relatively inexperienced, even if she didn’t like the way he stated it). Brandeis accepting her for enrollment but wait-listing her for QBReC was a little bitter sweet, but the idea of attending school near Boston still excites her.
So far, two acceptances from schools with fencing teams and waiting to hear from two more this week (the last two fall solidly into the reach category).
