Your scores look low for Harvard as a rower.(Try to shoot for a 2100.) Recruited rowers at Harvard tend to be nationally ranked, some Olympic level. If you are trying for the heavyweight team, how does your size compare to the current roster, where most H hvywt rowers are 6’3" to 6’5" and over, and 200+ lbs.?

If you read the threads at the Athletic Recruits section of CC, under Specialty Admissions, you will find what sort of erg times you need to be seriously considered.

Generally, the scores of rowers are quite high as so many come out of boarding school rowing programs.
