[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do any of the privates have a good rowing team? Any thoughts on whether being a Coxswain moves the needle for college admissions? Apparently, a friend was advised of this by a private college counseling company. I'm clueless when it comes to rowing and not sure if I should tell her to get a second opinion! [/quote] It's a great sport, and yes, colleges love to see it. Is your child small? Wondering if that's why you're asking about being a coxswain. I would recommend doing a rowing camp to see if your kid likes it. You shouldn't count on them always being a cox -- one big growth spurt could make that difficult. But if they take to rowing, they can transition to another role. Don't ever put all your eggs into the basket of having a kid recruited for a sport. [/quote]
