<p>are you thinking of rowing in college or being recruited? if so, it would make those top schools much easier to get into.</p>

3

<p>Haha nope…no desire to go for rowing…I’d like to try my hand in other activities :)</p>

4

<p>ahh thats a shame. if you are within reach to break an world record for erging, + 4 years of rowing + your stats would make you easily recruitable at HYPS, not to mention all of the schools you listed. but taking recruitment out of the picture, i have a very similar profile, so ill give you what my chances are at those colleges. </p>
