[quote=Anonymous]Former HYP coxswain here. I will say that is very bad advice from a college admissions standpoint, because the numbers are just so small. Coaches like to keep as many recruiting slots as possible for rowers, and at my college they formally recruited only 1 per year, and some years it was zero. I was good enough in high school to be invited on an official visit at one HYP school but ultimately they chose another girl to “list”, so I wound up not being formally recruited anywhere. BUT I got into a different HYP school on my academic merits and they were thrilled to have two strong coxswains in my year (me and the one they recruited). So, if your dream is to be a coxswain at Harvard/ Princeton/ Yale (etc), your best bet is to study hard and walk on to the team. That said, it’s an absolutely fantastic sport and coxing in particular is great leadership training. And a lot of fun. [/quote]
