<p>If you have great erg times, you should contact the crew coaches (light and heavy). I know you’re interested in other Ivies too. You should market yourself to all their crew coaches.</p>

<p>Athletic recruits (plus legacy) can be the boost to get you in. </p>

<p>BTW: no majors at Yale for “Politics” or “Business”. Change that or your display your noobie status! Best of luck to you.</p>

<p>I’ve been talking to some coaches.</p>

<p>Haha I was trying to put that I want to do something related to going into politics or business later on. But, okay.</p>

<p>That’s a whole lot of Yalies in the family. Wow.</p>

<p>Your boarding school allows you to keep a dog? That’s pretty cool. </p>

<p>Anyways, you seem to have a pretty good chance. Your stats definitely match up, although nothing stands out, but the fact that you’ve had so many Elis in your family will probably help.</p>

<p>Oh I live in the dorm (no day students) but my school’s still pretty close to my house. So, my counselor and my parents are neighbors LOL</p>
