Are you interested in doing a sport in college (either track or soccer) and, if so, do you see yourself as developing college-level skills in your remaining 2 years of high school?? Since you say you don’t have much else in the way of ECs, sports may be important in terms of your chances for admission. Bowdoin (and virtually all LACs) give points in the admissions process (known as “tips”) for varsity-caliber applicants. . .Crew probably wouldn’t matter much as Bowdoin has a rowing team but it is club level and therefore probably won’t be too consequential in the admissions process . .

You should contact the coaches if you conclude you may end up being varsity caliber and plan to play sports in college . . There’s a form on the Bowdoin website for each sport that you can fill put to initiate the process.
