Thanks BumpyPup. Does your son row at a college where he was recruited? Did you find the coaches to be direct? At what point did your son, his chosen college, and you all decide and commit?
S is taking SAT again. I was advised by hs counselor to send the scores for the first test, and stupidly did so. Now reading CC I realize that was a mistake - hopefully not a deal-breaker. His math and writing were decent, but Crit Reading a shock at 600.
What makes you feel the process is shifting to fewer recruits? I have read that each IVY college typically gets 8 rowers per team.
Sometimes I yearn for the days when kids applied and went to one school.
