<p>the piano is really impressive, if you can get that CR SAT up to 700 and raise the GPA a bit i'd say you would be a great candidate.</p>

<p>haha not exactly...it doesnt have to be an ivy, just a school of that caliber</p>

<p>if ur asian then it'll be extrememly hard.. they're harsher on asians startin this year.. so perfection wont cut it anymore.. u just have to be unique.. and from what i see. ur ECs are pretty typical...

<p>If you are good at rowing, and by good I mean not brain dead, they will recruit you as long as you can break 1350.</p>

<p>I wish I had done rowing, fencing, or lacrosse, biggest regret. Track is too difficult to compete against underpriviledged inner city kids who are also incredibly fast.</p>

11

<p>yeah i would like to be recruited if possible. i know someone who got recruited to yale for rowing...very similar to me...and with something like a 2170 on the SAT. he just found out recently, so that gives me some more hope....thanks for your posts everyone</p>
