Lots of D1 rowing programs don't need you to be a "recruited athlete" to get you into that D1 school.  The thing about rowing is that it's a black/white sport for college recruiting--there's an objective mark that rowers have to meet.  Most rowers (both for men and women) have to have erg metrics in line with what the coaches are looking for in a recruit.  This is the only way in.  Those numbers are available online; just do a search.  In terms of international rowing recruits, yes, it's true, lots of rosters have heavy dose of international students.  However, some big programs take upwards of 25 rowers each year and not all 25 will be international.  It really boils down to where you want to go and how you want to use this as your hook.  If you're thinking of an Ivy or Ivy+, it's not as easy of a path as you think.  And if you're looking for a rowing scholarship, look elsewhere.  Coaches get very little money in mens rowing (women's rowing does better).  The distribution of the funds throughout the team sometimes make very little impact to an individual's financial aid package.  [/quote]
