| I think it's a little early, even for early decision.
Anyone know about any other weapons? Or girls?

| There's someone here who could probably tell you what Bentley was thinking.
You could always try asking them if you see them, because I think at this point only the athletes themselves, parents, and maybe coaches know which schools they're thinking of.

Seriously, though, if it's too early to know about men's foilists, what makes you think that people will know about other weapons or genders? Do they accept women and sabre fencers earlier than men's foilists?

| particular weapons/gender do not find out earlier......but by this point most people have decided their top choices...especially high ranked fencers...
so i'm sure the top men's foilists as well as many women fencers know where they are applying early or what their first choice is | |

| I heard that Gerek was going to be home schooled all the way through college. Saves major tuition bills and you don't have to do your own laundry. | |

| I'm considering just scrapping the past 3.5 years entirely, and restarting the whole process as a mens foilist on the top of the points list.
I haven't decided where I'll go, though.
Recommendations?

| Actually, for the early decision folks, today is the first day to sign the National Letters of Intent. They have until the 21st at 11:59 pm to make their decision.

"Smith admits women and graduates people"
I was born female, I can graduate from Smith.
(The admissions office won't clarify about people born intersex, however.)
