<p>applied for 9th grade last year and was waitlisted at Exeter, Andover, Deerfield, and Lawrenceville...but im still in love with these schools lol xD
i live in CA and im azn lol</p>
<p>im applying for financial aid at Exeter and Andover because they are "need-blind" and they have huge endowments but im prob not for the other schools</p>
<p>Why would you not apply to Lawrenceville? I hear that their fencing program is very strong. If you want to continue fencing you should also look at The Masters School. I don't know if your other schools have a serious fencing program.</p>
<p>Im in an IB school and its not possible to be in the IB program in 9th grade. He/She probably in some pre-IB program like MYP...Middle years program.</p>
<p>I agree with Burb. The Masters School has a very strong fencing program, and the main coach an is ex-Olympic coach. Many of the fencers are The Masters School are nationally ranked.</p>
<p>The Masters School does have a GREAT fencing program. I had a 2 middle school meets with their middle school team last year, they creamed us like 4(us)-12(them), and like 3(us)-13(them). It was our first year of my school having a middle school team, but that's pretty inexcusable.</p>
<p>hey sorry guys, i thought i would get notifications like facebook, if people replied. haha. </p>
<p>i am in the MYP program...leading to IB. sorry for the confusion :)</p>
<p>no, fencing is my main sport. I do want to try some team sports like crew or soccer, so i can also experience the school spirit that fencing, as an individual sport, does not have. </p>
<p>I applied to Exeter, Andover, Deerfield, and Lawrenceville last year, and all 4 waitlisted. Lawrenceville was my "safety" (compared to the others, but still, definitely a GREAT school) and that was actually the school I liked the most. It had fencing and science olympiad, my two favorite activities. unfortunately, lawrenceville also had saturday classes, which definitely reduces the number of tournaments i can go to. I also talked to the coach, who said that not many people fenced competitively, ie for national tournaments. also, there was no real fencing club near enough to the school. </p>
<p>at andover, i found a club that was pretty competitive, and close to the school. there is a fencer i know there also. At exeter, there have been fencers at their school before. at deerfield, exeter, and andover don't have saturday classes. </p>
<p>THANKS GUYS for all your feedback and support =]</p>
