<p>Anyone have any idea how much weight athletics carries, specifically crew? THanks.</p>
<p>I'm a rower as well. YAY!!!!
Sorry I just had to say that. I think it depends. I am not personally putting much push for my Rowing aspects at BU and just pushing academics.
They do recruit people and I assume that since BU is so large they are able to admit a lot of the top prospects.</p>
<p>My academics are borderline (so-so grades will kill me, though I think everything else is okay) but I love BU so I'm hoping crew will help. I'm a coxswain, and although my stats aren't spectacular I know coxing is more subjective as to what makes you good. I've talked to the novice coach and got the impression she liked me (for what that's worth). I also know an amazing cox who has rowed with the BU recruiting coordinator. It's very quickly becoming my first choice school so I want any "in" that's available. Are you planning on rowing if you go?</p>
<p>Definietly. I recently dropped my erg scores about 15 seconds so it would be a waste for me not to. I just made 7:30.0 on Thursday.</p>
