<p>I would love to have communication with anyone who has been successful in getting a rowing scholarship for their D. My D is a 2013 - 2k time 7.34 as a freshman - one year at Jr Dev Nat'l Camp. Would like to learn which D1 schools are fully funded (20 scholarships) and which schools actively recruit female rowers. Good student (3.5 gpa) but looking for athletic $ to attend school which eliminates both Ivys and DIIIs.</p>
<p>PM me.
However, two quick notes:
- Harvard, Princeton, Yale have extremely generous financial aid. Go to the Yale and Princeton financial aid calculator and put in your numbers (try them both)
- All the D1 schools actively recruit and offer scholarships (e.g. UVA, Duke, Stanford, Berkeley, Michigan, etc.)</p>
<p>Wisconsin has both open weight and lite teams that are very good.</p>

<p>My d with just about the same erg time was offered 30% - 50% scholarships at two D1 schools. She has decided to row for an ivy league school in the fall. Many Ivys have great financial aide packages. There is an excellent guide that helped us through her recruitment process. <a href=“http://www.northwesternrowing.com%5B/url%5D”>www.northwesternrowing.com</a> - College Rowing Scholarships 2010 edition from Brookridge Associates Inc.</p>
<p>Thanks mbnews. PM coming your way</p>
<p>My daughter has a D1 scholarship and is in her 2nd year…we found BeRecruited to be really helpful with attracting interested coaches…the more info you put on the better. There are tools on the website related to listings of D1 schools with scholarships. The schools that competed in the NCAA finals are a good place to start, as well as up and coming teams. Remember, some of the highly-competitive schools want to see transcripts as a first step to make sure the athlete meets the minimum for the school. My best advice would be to find a school that meets her academic as well as rowing needs - if she were to get injured or change her mind about rowing, is this a school that she would still be happy and successful at? Good luck!</p>

<p>Trillium - PM coming your way. What do the numbers next to the schools mean?</p>
<p>The numbers are the points that make up their NCAA ranking. If you go the NCAA website and go to women’s rowing, you will see all the schools that ranked this past year, even beyond the top 20. With where your daughter is with that 2k score & good grades, and she has plenty of time to bring the 2k down, we started to get lots of attention from top rowing schools - both Ivy and other D1s - once she hit 7.25. Her invitation to Jr. National Team selection camp only increased the attention. Your daughter is in good shape!</p>
<p>mbnews–what school? (if you don’t mind sharing)</p>
<p>I’m rowing at an ivy next year also, so future teammates would be cool to know ahead of time (no ED where I’m going so coaches can’t release other recruits’ names yet).</p>
<p>I have a daughter who has a 7.06 2k is a good student. She is not getting interest from schools. It’s very different then I thought it would be. We are being asked to pay for her air fare to official visits. We know slower girls getting more interest but some have high priced recruiting assistance.</p>
<p>Snogirl, how did you go about contacting coaches? When did you start and how many schools were on your list?</p>
<p>Snogirl - this is very surprising. Was her 2k recorded at a practice or a National event? I am assuming she is a Senior. She should look at Crash-bs or find a ranked erg competition to you. If she has coach verification, her coach can be making calls for her. Does she have a berecruited account? I find this very unusual.</p>
<p>yes her 2K is published at one of those regional indoor regatta’s.</p>
<p>Did your daughter’s coach actually make calls. Her coach would probably answer
questions but wouldn’t make calls and isn’t particularly helpful or interested. She is the only senior at her club and feels
overwhelmed by the recruiting process. I got some ideas from a mom from this thread.</p>
<p>My D is going to call or email more coaches. She is on berecruited and has had lots of
looks at her profile and a few calls. Is it the case that she should be making the contacts with coaches?</p>
<p>Snogirl - as a senior your daughter must have a list of schools she would like to attend. Has your daughter visited any schools (unofficially) this year? Did she email all the coaches on her list, the schools she has seen and the rest, her rowing resume with academic stats? How long has she been on BeRecruited?</p>
<p>At this stage in the game, your daughter needs to be very proactive. If there are new schools she is interested in, she should email the coach with a cover letter expressing her interest, an athletic resume, a copy of her transcript and copies of her test scores. That way the coach will be able to see right then and there if she can get through admissions. I would follow up the email, within 48 hrs or so, with a phone call. We found late morning and early afternoon to be the best times to actually get a coach on the phone. </p>
<p>We found that the offering of official visits went in waves. The top recruits were very early, with the mid-level recruits were seeing a lot of action mid to late Sept. The rest of them were picked up after those groups were through.</p>
<p>snogirl - how tall is she? Girls with killer ergs can get turned down a lot if they’re below average height for a rower.</p>
<p>Height is a coach preference. Some coaches only recruit tall girls, while others recruit boat movers, regardless of height. Look at the rosters of schools your daughter is interested in, if the shorter girls are 5’10", there’s your answer. But many of the top teams have girls in the 5’7" to 5’9" range, so don’t believe that height is a deterrent!</p>
<p>Is height perceived by D1/Ivy coaches as a DISadvantage for a lightweight female rower?</p>
<p>It is strange that a rower with a 7:06 2K doesn’t generate interest regardless of height. There simply aren’t that many girls in the country with that 2k to fill all the boats. You don’t need high-priced recruiting assistance. Maybe the coaches think she is not seriously interested in their school.</p>
<p>Congrats Hey-Pal…

<p>Have they offerred you the LL? Its only Sept</p>
