[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about rowing, how do kids do trying to get recruited to women's rowing teams?  D1 or high academic D3.  [/quote]

Women's rowing recruiting starts right after sophomore year and offers are made junior year. Every rowing team has a questionnaire on their website that your kid should fill out, then follow up about a week later with an e-mail. Keep it short: "Hi my name is x, I am a (height/weight) rising junior with a (x) 2K time and a (x) GPA. I intend to take the SAT on (x date) and my PSATs were (x). I am very interested in learning more about your program."

The coach will reach out if your kid's metrics are what they're looking for, 2K is most important but GPA and SAT matter as well. Height matters some, more as a differentiator if she's 5'10+[/quote]

Still doesn't quite tell me what it takes.  So if you have GPA, SAT, or EC stats to share, please do.  Otherwise telling me to fill out the questionnaire, email the coach after June 15th of completing sophomore year, or to get my erg score into the 7-min mark is pointless.  [/quote]

At this point, your kid probably doesn't have what it takes.  Ultimately, personality plays a big part too.  Nobody like needy and rude people.[/quote]

I didn't think I was being rude.  I was being factual and thought specificity may have been missing from my prior post, which is why I noted I was looking for stats (i.e., GPA, rigor, test scores, EC) info more than general info about erg scores and questionnaires.  [/quote]
