<p>It is good that you interviewed there and you felt it went well. Also, since you are an ace in crew, absolutely get in contact with the Wesleyan crew coach whose email address is available on the athletics pages of the website. No one here can give you certainty about your chances for admission. But if I were you,I would reach out to the crew coach and provide what information they need to put in a good word to admissions. My son rows on the Wesleyan crew team and they have great facilities and coaches and usually do quite well every year. Good luck!</p>
<p>You have a chance, but you may want to retake the SAT! You otherwise look qualified! Best of luck!</p>
<p>My initial reaction to your post is exactly the same as that of morganhil. Definitely contact the crew coach. They’re eager to recruit new members and tried to hunt for inexperienced strong/tall guys in the beginning of this semester.</p>
