[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are so many kids who row these days in the DMV it's really only a hook for the Ivies and Stanford if you are crazy tall and also athletically gifted. but the local rowing clubs are happy to take the money from hundreds of families a year and they run 8-10 boats of kids who have no shot at elite rowing post high school. these kids all fund the rowing of the handful who are elite kids. [/quote] This goes back to the erg metric used for elite programs. If you're not close to national team mark, you can forget about the elite schools. But between the elite schools and the schools that have rowing programs, there is a lot there where you don't necessarily have to worry about being a recruited athlete to secure a spot at that school. Most likely, if you have decent grades, you'll get in regardless of whether you're a rower or not. [/quote]
