<p>I live in Canada, and I'm ranked 3rd in U17 Women Sabre. (I am 15 this year). I have yet to participate in NACs or Worlds but I will be next year. THough I do understand the significant difference level of difference between US and canadian competitions... :/ Do you think I'd have a chance in Ivy League schools? Or do you think I can get in, even if I don't make the team?
I'm one of the top students (top 3-5 % in an average school taking full IB) with extensive ECs outside of fencing, such as a lot of volunteer work, and this summer I will be participating in the top science summer program in the country. </p>
<p>I'd really appreciate your help- it to get a rough idea about my college selection path!</p>
<p>No one can answer these questions for you</p>
<p>Ivy schools admit based on grades, rigor or prep, test scores, essays, letters of rec etc. t…the fencing is the added extra that could set you apart if you are one fo the BEST.</p>
<p>You say you are 15…your CC screen profile says you are 17. You posted last summer (July) you were entering 10th grade. </p>
<p>Another post you list 300 hrs of community service…
Understand that college admissions will look at 9th-12th grades…The grades, ECs, etc you did in the years most recently. </p>
<p>What grade are you completing now?
Are you taking the most rigorous curriculum available at your school?
Have you taken the SAT or ACT?</p>
<p>Based on your class rank, it appears that if you’re good enough to get recruited by an Ivy League fencing coach you’ll likely be accepted by the admissions department.</p>
<p>A quick check of Canadian WS results and rankings indicates that, for the most part, Canadian sabreurs aren’t doing well against American competition.</p>
<p>My guess is if you can make the top 8 in a couple of NACs, you’ll catch the eye of a few coaches.</p>
<p>Also, you should probably look beyond just the Ivies. Consider Duke, Northwestern and a few others, too.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
