[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a solid "B" student at a top private, and crew helped me get accepted at Georgetown, Brown, Dartmouth, and Columbia. I was a varsity tower, but not best or biggest. So it can be a ticket to college if you have decent grades and are any good. And you have the body type required to succeed in competitive rowing in college. But it's not for the faint of heart. It's a big commitment timing wise, early mornings, long weekends, and lots of travel. Plus it can be very competitive and you're often competing against your friends and team-mates for seats which is not always easy. [/quote] Curious when you rowed -- 80s or 90s? It can still be a ticket but check out Harvard's heavyweight roster -- very, very international. There are fewer "tickets" for American rowers than there were 25 years ago, although certainly still some (but I've seen it more at schools like Columbia and Penn).[/quote]
