Thank you for sharing your insights! Based on what the coach has said and what I heard on my tour, I think that NMH’s fencing program is mostly aimed at providing an introduction to fencing for newcomers. However, the coach does seem interested in making it more competitive and expanding it, and it looks like there’s a lot of student interest on campus. Does this mean that my experience in fencing will be weighed slightly heavier than usual in admissions, but it won’t advance me to the front of the line?
Yup, I’m not hoping to get recruited in college. It’s a whole lot of commitment, and I don’t think I’ll be able to get to that level. I do really enjoy fencing though!
