<p>I have been rowing for the past 4 years and attend a competative prep school in upper ny state.<br>
Over the summer i row at one of the top clubs in America and compete at a national level.
I know crew is a top recruitment sport for ivy leauge schools.
I was wondering if anyone has been recruited for rowing (or knows anyone) and can help me out with the recruitment system.
Also exatly how much a sport such as crew can assist my addmission to an ivy leauge school.
My grades are mostly B/B+ with a few scattered.
Also about 10 students have been accepted to UPENN from my school in the past few years.(A couple rowers) Does this help my chances at all?
Finally i was wondering if i could have a friend of mine who rows for Penn talk to the coatch on a personal level for me?
Thanks//</p>
<p>Yeah, have your friend contact the coach. Also try to contact him yourself.</p>
<p>Definitely contact the coach. That is the only way to get on his radar sometimes since they don't often have the resources to recruit everywhere in the nation.</p>
