Lightweight Women's Rowing Recruitment

<p>Hi! I am an incoming junior and high school and beginning to look at colleges. I started crew this January so have been rowing for 1 and a half seasons with a 2k at 7.57 but hope to lower it down to 7.40 by the end of the summer. I have a 3.8 GPA with many honors classes and APs in my future and a few other extra curricular activities. Weighing in at around 125 lbs. I hope to get recruited as a light weight rower to an East Coast school. </p>

<p>I was wondering if anyone had any insight on the lightweight women's rowing programs at places like Harvard, Princeton, and Georgetown (my top choice)? Thank you so much!</p>

<p>Looks good! Do you have any test scores back yet? AP scores? Sat 2s? So far looking good.Keep the GPA up and keep on the erg!</p>

<p>No SAT scores or AP scores yet, am just going into junior year. Do you know anything about the erg scores of lw recruits at Georgetown?</p>

<p>I do not know the erg score but I have a feeling that if you have the stats academically then your erg will be fine. I think those stats are more important!!! You also need to go to rowing camp next summer!</p>

<p>A LWT rower from our team this year was recruited to HP and G at 125 lbs, 7:40 2K. Her GPA was 4.2 at the time of recruitment and her SAT was 2040. SAT 2s were 760 and 770. She says the erg had to be at 7:45 to be considered, but the lower the better.</p>

<p>What is your unweighted?</p>

<p>Rowmom’s post seems to match with information I am getting from other sources.</p>

<p>I think for a true lightweight, a sub 7:45 2K gets interesting to the coaches as long as your academic profile is not at the bottom of the “range” that the coaches will tell you they are able to support.</p>
