Wait until you have more to tell with regard to rowing. The coaches are interested in your rowing skills - what you can offer to their team. Your good academics will be interesting only if they are interested in you as an athlete. Your 2K time of 7:59 is unremarkable. Don’t be discouraged though - it is possible to bring your time down this spring! Work hard and try to get some extra time on the erg. The only objective measure is your erg time. Every second you can carve off makes you more appealing. For top schools HW recruits should aim for sub 7:30 and LW’s should aim for sub 7:40.
Best of luck!
