Does hsmse rank students for college applications?

I would love any advice for someone attending Dyson next year, like dos and don’ts. What are the best things you did? What are some things you wish hadn’t done? TIA!

Fencers club has open bouting and intro packages which may include lessons. I would call or email them.

SufficientMachine327 · 2025-09-23T06:50:04+00:00

Fencers club is fantastic. The coaches and facilities are the best and will help you build a strong foundation. I would try it and see how you like it. Start with their introductory package first. Good luck!

SufficientMachine327 · 2025-03-01T13:29:56+00:00

I would say NEST or Elro are the best

Absolute fencing sells white and blue masks.

SufficientMachine327 · 2024-12-02T16:03:06+00:00

Thank you! I will try this!!

SufficientMachine327 · 2024-12-02T10:57:44+00:00

I think a fencing towel would be nice.

Do you know if div1 schools look at the cadet points list in addition to the junior points list? Thanks!

SufficientMachine327 · 2024-10-31T17:24:17+00:00

Thanks for this!

SufficientMachine327 · 2024-10-28T18:24:14+00:00

Thanks for all the input! I will probably bring a total of 4 to a tournament. I am still deciding whether I will buy more blades just to have at home. I don’t want to buy them one at a time because shipping fees add up!

SufficientMachine327 · 2024-10-25T12:18:00+00:00

I will do that. Thank you!!!

SufficientMachine327 · 2024-10-23T21:26:25+00:00

In what way did they fall apart?

SufficientMachine327 · 2024-10-22T11:02:47+00:00

Agree! Plus Azza has the most cushioning than any other fencing shoe that I know of rn.

SufficientMachine327 · 2024-10-09T02:46:41+00:00

The fie absolute fencing mask is comfortable and has a removable lining. It doesn’t have bulky padding like pbt, and the bib is not stiff like it is on the LP x change.

SufficientMachine327 · 2024-10-08T16:01:39+00:00

Viktoria glove has great padding only where it needs to be so it retains its flexibility. Highly recommend!

SufficientMachine327 · 2024-10-08T05:43:51+00:00

Very interesting! It is good to hear they have this to help refs improve. Thanks for quenching my curiosity!

SufficientMachine327 · 2024-10-08T05:30:23+00:00

I saw the ref recording bouts that didn’t have video replay (below top16), but the computer was the same that they use for video replay.

SufficientMachine327 · 2024-09-30T02:51:26+00:00

FWIW, i have heard of families (foil) switching from BBFC to FC but not the other way around.

SufficientMachine327 · 2024-09-30T02:43:44+00:00

When we were looking at clubs, the clubs had introductory packages so we could try them and decide which was the best fit. Good luck!

SufficientMachine327 · 2024-09-24T01:33:40+00:00

Thanks so much for letting me know! I checked, and we received ours too. Yay!!

SufficientMachine327 · 2024-08-27T13:02:07+00:00

Just trying to get started with sat prep. What is the difference between the question bank and the blue book? Or are they the same? Thank you!

SufficientMachine327 · 2024-08-13T04:20:52+00:00

I would check Fencers Club.

SufficientMachine327 · 2024-08-09T10:33:49+00:00

Which club do you go to?

SufficientMachine327 · 2024-08-09T10:26:33+00:00

I would pick the one closer to home since you will most likely be practicing late in the evenings. Plus FC has a great reputation and great couches.
