My daughter rowed against you at Youth Nationals last yr. That was a great final. Just finished the recruiting process. Between your erg times and grades/scores, you should generate a lot of interest. My daughter was in the low 7:30s with similar SAT scores ( and only 5’7"), and got a lot of interest from IVY’s and D1 schools. Just realize that it is the main season for coaches right now. They are getting their team ready for races, and aren’t focusing on recruiting… That should start up in late May/ June. Create a free berecruited profile as suggested above. It gives coaches a chance to find you. If there are some schools you are interested in, fill out their recruiting profile and email the head coach. There are plenty of sample letters on the web. There is also a site called tier1athletics. We used that site and his book when we were interested in IVY’s. The one thing that we found out is coaches seem to change more in rowing than any other sport. Five schools we were talking to early in the process changed their head coach or lead recruiter over the summer , and we had no idea until it was too late. We thought they had lost interest and moved on. Good luck. You should do fine.
