[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it easier to get admission in T20 college through fencing, if scholarship is not needed? [/quote] I think someone posted upthread - or maybe I read it in one of the athletes in ED posts - T20 schools want to win, so they are going to recruit the more competitive fencers from Asia and Europe over full pay US fencers if the former are better. That's not to say your DC might not have a shot, but I wouldn't bank on it as a strategy. PP, DC had a classmate who wanted to play one of these kinds of sports @ a T10 school. The kid worked very, very hard over many years, but at the end of the day, there were simply stronger, more talented competitors. Landed a spot on a T25-30 school, which is incredibly impressive but also shows that dropping all your sports to focus on one is not a done deal for Ivy admission. [/quote]
