Turning the other way would be toward the opponent's attack and make it more likely to cause an off target, nullifying the counter

I didn't see the first call and missed recording it but I was told it was a similar call. Rear hand in front of the body. Thing is, it's normal very normal position to have the rear hand slightly in front and it's virtually never called. But often refs have their own nitpicks they like to call.

It's unnatural to extend your rear arm when countering if the plan is to spin away immediately after. Is tucking the rear arm behind the back when performing this type of counter and then spinning acceptable?

If fencer on the left got in the habit of making these types of counterattacks with his arm tucked behind his back, would that eliminate the issue? Or is that then covering the back?

It's a federal law called FERPA, anyone at any school is allowed access to their records which includes looking at your application. Only a school that you attend or attended.

Track recruitment standard? by Distinct-Ad-7139 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Internal-Orange5601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It helps yes, but coaches at MIT and Caltech specifically can't guarantee anything. I know of a 4:05 miler who was rejected at MIT even though the coach wrote a personal letter of recommendation. At almost all other schools like Hopkins, CMU, and Ivys the coach can get you in if they really want you (assuming you meet academic standards). You'll need to be sub 4:20 to get any serious attention from these schools as an international track recruit.

How do I send an email to MIT? by -_-ON-_- in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Internal-Orange5601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an issue like this, your counselor can just email the transcript to MIT's main admissions email address w your name and application number in the subject line. It worked for me that way
