<p>if you’re doig rowing, why not columbia? (i know someone that did crew and he had choice school including ivies and he picked columbia)</p>

<p>it seems like you’ve been doing crew for a long time but aside from that, your GPA and SAT are still what most applicants have when they apply to those schools.</p>

<p>Stanford: reach
Duke: reach
Georgetown: reach
Cornell: low reach
USC: match</p>

<p>If you area a sr–and haven’t been talking to coaches as far as recruiting…it may be too late.
Have you posted your erg times in the jr national trials?
Have you been visitng and talking with coaches?</p>

<p>You could walk on places–but you may not get any help with crew towards admissions if the apps are in and you haven’t been recruited at those schools</p>

<p>Check the school rosters for lightweights…</p>

<p>your 2 k is below 7 right?</p>
