Hi, everyone. My GPA is 88. 83 - freshman year. 91 - sophmore, 92 - first term junior year. I go to a math/science magnet school. My ECS are being in charity drives, school government and captain of the fencing team. I am also nationally ranked in fencing. I am hoping this will make up for my average. I have talked to several coaches they might have an interest in recruiting me. My SAT is 1460. Do I have any shot whatsoever at an IVY? Princeton, Columbia?

Thanks for any replies

i thînk it will count a lot..but i dont think the colleges are gonna chose u just for fencing ablities. if u were good at basketball or football, u would have had a really good chance...it is very hard to find ppl who are national athletes and have a 1450+ sat score
