<p>good stats. The only thing I think is aberrant here is your doubling up on Math SAT2s. Pricneton needs 3 of them, and while you do technically have 3 different ones, I'm not sure how happy they'd be that 2 of them are essentially the same one. </p>
<p>As the above posters said, you'll need to be proactive for recruitment - it isn't automatic. If you just list it, it could be a hook at best.</p>
<p>If you want to get recruited for fencing at Princeton you need to jump on it and not wait for them to come to you. Did you by chance get national points at your attended events?</p>
<p>Hey
I'm on the princeton fencing team. It's a really awesome team. I hope to see you there next year. If you're going to be a recruit, I would get in touch with Zoltan ASAP as he already has his recruits set up and visiting. He's about to submit the forms.</p>
<p>Well... Princeton's average GPA is 3.8 so you're just a TAD underneath it but nothign to worry about. I mean, if people with 4.0 u/w apply, then anything above 3.6 shouldn't do any harm in any way imaginable. What did you get on your SAT 1? You didn't mention that bit... Then again, you have the ACT so no sweat!</p>
<p>About fencing - if you've been a captain, then your chances are pretty darn decent! Especially since you also got Most Improved so put those two together and it shows a whole load of development!</p>
<p>Personally I've been wanting to try fencing since 7th grade but there's none where I live and I'm seriously upset about it... :( I'll probably barely get into intramurals for it in college since my only experience has been that with a plastic lightsaber. <em>blushes</em></p>
<p>Redgirl, don't feel to bad about nowhere nearby. I've been fencing for about 7 years, and even though there is a decent community nearby, and I was the best youth fencer in my club, I never competed because to have a full competition is SO DAMN EXPENSIVE. Just regular training gear is $$$ too, so unless you've got tons of cash to throw around, its hard.</p>
<p>the problem is that I haven't done exceptionally well in national fencing competitions. I haven't gained any national points, so I'm not nationally ranked. Wow, my chances for recruitment just dropped 10 fold.</p>
<p>hey are internationals invited to call the coach too? Lets say the international is into long distance tracks (800m, 1500m etc). I kno I kno...the recruiment stage is passed but i jus want to kno if it was possible for internationals.....even to i dont think so.</p>
<p>ex. break national records or something like that lol. If you are that good, it is likely that your coach would personally contact P'ton coach, maybe after you ask him to.</p>
<p>Recruitments are over? What about for regular decisions? And I have been trying to contact the coaches, but they haven't responded to my e-mails.</p>
