Collegiate Fencing
Did you know that fencing can give you a real advantage in getting into a top college?
Fencers who succeed fencing at a national level have a distinct advantage when applying to colleges. Most of the top colleges in the US recruit fencers for their NCAA teams, colleges such a Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Cornell, UPenn, Notre Dame, to name a few, actively pursue fencers who compete successfully on the national level. Even if your fencer does not compete at that level, it is still an advantage to list fencing on the college application. Colleges understand the commitment to fencing, and the challenges that fencers face, trying to balance competition with school work, They also appreciate that fencing is a form of physical chess. Students who fence learn to think fast on their feet, and their reflexes, physical and mental, are strong. Fencing often helps students learn to strategize, plan ahead, and organize their time, There are also many colleges who look to support their fencing teams outside of the NCAA, Division 2 and Division 3 colleges, and many colleges support intramural clubs.
