Does doing Fencing look good on a college application?

I have been doing Fencing for four years but as a Junior, I think I want to quit it as I am getting tired of it. Does it look good to do Fencing in the ffirst place, as compared to other sports. Would it look bad to quit in the middle of high school, but yet then not quit and then tell them that I do not have interest in participating in College Fencing. What is my best option, college-wise?|||Any sport looks good. 4 years of fencing would be totally cool and a great enhancement to your application.


However, 4 years of a specific modern language, a great SAT score, and some ECs that are relevant to your proposed major are even greater enhancements.|||Fencing will certainly set you apart from other applicants, just because how many people do fencing? They don't really care if you continue to fence in college or not, especially if they don't actually have fencing. You could avoid that potential awkwardness by just not applying to schools that have it.





Stick with it unless it really has become a chore and you dread picking up your foil. In that case, get yourself involved in another sport to make up for it. Still put the fencing on your application, though, because anything that sets you apart from other candidates is good.





You'll also want to take a foreign language if you haven't been doing so already; a lot of high schools require 2 years of the same language to graduate, and colleges like to see that. Take the SAT; if you score lower than 600 on any component, retake the SAT and study harder for that portion of the test (you can just report your highest score in each section when you put your scores on an application). Take the ACT if you want to. Use the CollegeBoard academic tracker to see that you're on track for the schools you're interested in.|||any sport looks good to colleges. They are not going to be prejudice to what sports/clubs or organization you are in. If you want to quit, then quit. Maybe you can try out another club or sport for your junior and senior year.
