[quote=Anonymous]Is your kid a boy or a girl?  The crew landscape is very different for men’s vs women’s rowing.

I have a senior who will be rowing crew at a D3 school next year, but who went on several D1 official visits and had several D1 offers.

Coaches all want to know two pieces of info: 2k time and height.

Unlike many other sports the best D3 colleges are substantially better than the worst D1 programs.

I recommend going on your first official visit to a college that isn’t their top choice to shake out the nerves and get a sense of the process.

Have them fill out the interest forms for any schools they are interested in. They are usually linked from their instagram pages.

Pay attention to what is and isn’t covered in scholarship offers.

If your kid is interested in a potential major, try to talk with someone on the team with that major. Some D1 athletics aren’t very compatible with being an engineering or pre med major.  If there is no one on the team with your major or major area that’s a red flag. [/quote]
