<p>I would assume with those rankings in fencing you would most certainly be able to be recruited. Granted, my knowledge of fencing is rather limited, but I’m going to assume for these intents and purposes that recruiting for fencing is similar to that of other sports. I’m also going to assume you’re applying to colleges in the US. Keeping this in mind, I would definitely contact the coaches of schools you’re interested in to see if you can talk to them about their program, particularly when you go visit. Also, most schools have a form you can fill out about recruitment. It’s usually under their website for athletics and then under the particular sport (in this case, fencing.) I would recommend filling that out, because it’ll give scouts something by which to gauge your fencing. I would also caution that collegiate athletics is both more time consuming as well as more competitive then high school athletics. But judging by your rankings, in both school and fencing, it sounds like you’ll have that under control.</p>
<p>I assume a 3rd-overall fencer in Canada would be able to fence at a Division I level.</p>
<p>Let’s see:</p>
<p>PSU: Safety (even without recruitment)
St. John’s: Safety (even without recruitment; 0-6 PharmD a safety with fencing)
UCSD: Match (if full-pay without recruitment)/Low match (with recruitment)
Lafayette: Match (if not recruited)/Safety (if recruited; pay attention to your interviews either way)
NJIT: Safety (even without fencing)
UNC: Reach (if not recruited)/Match (if recruited)
U Detroit: Safety (even without recruitment)
Brown (no athletic scholarship): Reach (without recruitment)
Cornell (no athletic scholarship): Reach (without recruitment)
Duke: Reach (without recruitment)</p>
<p>i forgot to mention that i also have other ECs such as extensive community involvement, business (national level competitions) and music (9 years experience)</p>
