Does Brown have a sailing team? Wondering if you can get recruited for sailing.

Yes, Brown does have a sailing team. Im thinking of walking on if I get into one of these schools because i’m not quite good enough to get recruited (I haven’t competed in any national or international regattas).

Sailing is definitely the standout part of your application. Make sure to emphasize that in your college app! Good luck!
