Are you good enough of a fencer to be recruited? Being that you are a junior, now is the time to start approaching the coaches and discussing recruitment, if that’s what you want. As you may know, sports recruitment is a very big hook in terms of admissions. If you are in the top 20 of the national junior rank in your grade, gender and weapon, most of the Div 1 schools, especially the Ivys will seriously consider you. With your academics you will most likely pass the admissons pre-read.
