What should a 12th grader (senior) do for college fencing recruiting?

Senior year is about finalizing your college choice and completing the formal commitment process. If you have a verbal commitment, you will sign the National Letter of Intent (NLI) in November. Ivy League recruits will receive likely letters in October. Continue competing to maintain your standing — coaches can rescind offers if performance drops significantly.

Key Points

• October: Ivy League likely letters are sent to recruits
• November: Early signing period — sign NLI if you have a D1 commitment
• Continue competing at NACs and maintain your ranking
• Complete college applications (even with a verbal commitment, you must apply)
• Communicate any academic or personal changes to your coach immediately
