I agree with rennie17, and think that her advice is very good. I had a daughter go through the process last year. She met with most of the Ivy league schools during official/unofficial visits. I believe that you may be on the west coast which might make setting up unofficial visits more difficult. You will probably have informal telephone conversations with the assistant coaches on a somewhat regular basis this spring. Make sure you keep all of the coaches you are speaking with updated on your progress.

In addition, I would set up a ‘berecruited’ account. The website seems to work well for rowers, and although you may get some interest from schools you are not interested in, the Ivys and other similar schools do look at the profiles on the website.

I think that you will be successful given your stats. I would not worry about where you are with the coaches at this point. Just for reference, my daughter was offered some official visits early last summer. But, as it turns out she did not have any communication with the school she has chosen to attend until mid-summer last year, and verbally committed to them in September.

If you have other specific questions I would be happy to answer them the best I can. Good luck!
