<p>Looks like you would really enjoy Haverford. I think that you have a great chance. You could contact the fencing coach and have them have admissions look at your stats, if they say it is close then the fencing coach can “tip” you in.</p>

<p>If I were you I would drop everything and head over to Haverford for an interview. Be prepared and ask great questions. Make it clear it is your first choice.</p>

<p>My new sat scores:
Critical Reading–710
Math–740
Writing–690</p>

<p>Those are good scores and make you much more eligible. Definitely talk to the fencing coach - he’s a really nice guy - you’ll like him. Everybody who wants to fence can join even though it’s varsity, but he will definitely want someone with 6 years of experience.</p>

<p>My suggestion for anyone applying to Haverford is to discuss how the Honor Code is important to them when they apply. It’s a very big part of the school and embodies all that they do. The admissions process is also very holistic and everyone evaluating your application must agree that you’d be a good fit in order for you to be admitted.</p>
