<p>AS you probably know, few sabreurs are top students, so I expect you would have good chances at UCSD, Duke, NYU, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Princeton, and UPenn if you can get coaches’ support. Penn’s coach is retiring, so that might be a wild card. Yale’s coach seems disinterested in recruiting, and the Harvard coach has very limited slots. Runyon at UCSD can surely help, and I’d also focus on talking w/ the coaches at Duke, Columbia, and Princeton; they can get someone like you in if they want you.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
