<p>Hi, i am looking into Georgetown as a possible athletic recruit.
I am currently a junior and have begun to talk with the crew coach at Gtown.</p>
<p>From a recent e-mail he said "on paper you appear to be just the type of student athlete we look to recruit at Gtown" ( after sending in a recruitment form)</p>
<p>My question is, does anyone here have any athletic recruiting experiance at Gtown?</p>
<p>If so, how heavily does a sport weigh in the admission process?</p>
<p>ANY info will be greatly appreciated
thanks.</p>
<p>Yeah I'm an accepted EA student at Gtown class of 2011. I'm also a rower (lightweight tho). I didn't actually get recruited. I flew out to Gtown and met with the coaches (Justin Manning) and etc.. When I met with them they said basically they only recruit 4 lightweights a year and they don't do any recruiting for crew at least for lighweights early admission i.e you can apply EA, but you will only be recruited for RD. I had decent erg scores at the time and they said I would be a possible candidate, but that they had alot of other guys with similar scores. Anyways I applied EA to see if I could get in on my own plus I knew it was unlikely I would be one of the four recruits they wanted. A friend of mine, who happens to row for the same team as me, is being recruited heavyweight RD at gtown and a number of other schools. Gtown isn't his top choice, but it would appear that sports/recruitment weigh in pretty heavily at least at Georgetown. If they really want you, they'll get you in.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply,
do you, by any chance, know your heavyweight friends info</p>
<p>like height weight erg scores grades SAT</p>
<p>any info will b appreciated.</p>
<p>yo dude, i go to school right by gtown, and my teammate is bein recruited by them as a lwt, he has a pretty sick 2k wit a 642, he bout 6'1" and got ok grades and SATs. so yea, hop[e that helps</p>
<p>Yeah the guy from my team who is being recruited by Gtown + Ivies, is like 6'2'' 195 lbs and pulls a 6:28. He has decent grades + really good SATs</p>
<p>Just communicate with the coaches as much as possible and they will pretty much let you know how interested they are.</p>
<p>yea im currently talking with Mark Mandel, heavyweight frosh coach</p>
<p>i sent my rowing transcript, and weve been talking since then</p>
<p>im def gonna keep pushing the issue and lower my scores (6:47 2k as of now)</p>
<p>and hopefully it will work out</p>
<p>Thanks for all your replies!</p>
<p>For that 6:42 and 6'1 guy, how much does he weigh, and what do you mean by "ok grades and SATs?"</p>
