Lightweight Erg scores for Ivies

<p>it’s ok!</p>

<p>Yeah, minimum spots is 8! they want to fill their frosh boat and try not to depend on walk-ons…</p>

<p>may I ask you what you’re erg score is and how old you are? pm if you want!</p>

<p>My son has been in contact with a lot of Ivy coaches and is a lightweight candidate at 162 lbs. They seem interested. His erg is just below 6:30 and I’d be surprised if he didn’t improve that before the end of the season. But I’m getting nervous about his SATs. Just breaking 1800 and I don’t know how much higher he can get that score. Good student - mid 90s GPA; hard worker. Are Ivies a pipedream at this point? Should we cut our losses and start looking at other schools?</p>

<p>crewpop – has he tried the ACT? Is it accepted by all ivies and many kids do better on the ACT than on the SAT. it is worth trying – it may get him the score he needs to get into an Ivy. Do you know the class rank (if the school ranks)?</p>

<p>ACTs might work. Class rank is about 50 out of 450</p>
