[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it easier to get admission in T20 college through fencing, if scholarship is not needed? [/quote]

There are only ~40 schools that offer fencing and financials are not a factor for recruitment, at least not from the schools' side. Junior national ranking (https://www.usafencing.org/current-point-standings) matters most, along with the ability to get through the admissions pre-read.

The T20 include 7 Ivies (all Division I -- two have women only programs) do not offer scholarships of any kind (merit or athletic); Stanford (Division I), MIT (Division III), Duke (Division I), and Notre Dame (Division I). Duke and Notre Dame offer (very few) scholarships and these tend to be partial.

There are not many recruited athletes for fencing. The coaches have perhaps 4-6 recruitment spots per year across two genders and three weapons. Others listed on the fencing rosters are walk-ons, meaning they were admitted to the school through a non-recruitment process and joined the team.

https://www.fencingparents.org has a lot of info on the sport and a section specifically on recruiting.

https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/t/the-only-college-fencing-recruiting-thread-you-need-to-read/1827194 is also a good resource.
