<p>I'm going into my junior year of high school and I was hoping I could rowing in college at a Division 3 level. (I was thinking NESCAC schools, IE williams, Amherst, trinity, tufts, etc)</p>
<p>Info:
6'4, 177 lbs, 7:10 2k, rowed Stroke on my schools 2V as a sophomore.
I haven't taken the SAT yet, but I have a 3.9 GPA.</p>
<p>I know I need to drop my 2k time to be noticed at all, but time has been dropping off my time pretty quickly and there haven't been any signs of it slowing down (I dropped 8 seconds from my last 2k to my most recent one, and my most recent one was not a very good showing from me(flying and dying) in my own opinion)</p>
<p>I was wondering a few things: what estimated erg time should I aim to get to by the end of my junior year, and what chance I would have at both getting into these schools and rowing at them if I do get my 2k down to whatever it needs to be down to?</p>
<p>For NESCACS, only amherst, bowdoin, conn college and middlebury dont have crew. For the top tier, williams and trinity, 6:25-6:35. For others, 6:30-6:45. For SAT, above 2100 if slower than those targets and the higher you can be, the better. These schools all look at you wanting to row for them for four years, not just using them for admissions. If you are passionate, show it to coaches and that may be able to help out a not stellar erg score. Also, coaches want to see a good strength to weight ratio. You need to be really fast,6:30 or under at 185-190 or 6:35-6:45 at 170 with great grades to be recruitable. In all, show passion for the school and visit and meet coaches to put yourself out there. </p>
