<p>Good progress, HockeyKid. If your erg score comes down again, that will move Harvard, Princeton and Stanford. The clock IS ticking, but you have some very good OVs planned so you can feel very positive about that. You should be working on your applications and essays. My advice is to prepare a RD application to every school that offers you an official and if you get an offer of a likely letter from any of them, take it and change your application to ED. They key is to get the first likely offer because then you can use it to gently persuade your other options to commit to you as well. They all like to know that their recruits are wanted elsewhere! And if you get multiple offers of likelies, well, then, you are golden. Keep us posted.</p>
<p>Hey, I know this is kind of random, but it caught my eye because I’m a rising senior, who is a heavyweight rower at CRI right now. I was in that boat at Henley. What’s your name, HockeyKid? This is Alex Brown.</p>
<p>Is this Jack?</p>
