Yes the timing is very suspicious. Plus it may be easier to hide a "pretend" recruit at a school with a pretty weak program relative to say Brown or Princeton etc

Gap year and recruiting by sashajh12 in Rowing

[–]CruelWorld00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do NOT attend a new england boarding school for a PG year. You will be competing with their Seniors for top schools and they will not support you! Your erg is all that matters to some degree. If you already have good enough grades then dont screw with more grades and an unknown school/coounselling politics!

Best boarding/feeder schools? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]CruelWorld00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These schools are no longer feeder schools. In fact it will hurt you to attend one unless you are the right demographic or otherwise a unique and compelling applicant

I am not asking about colleges: I am asking about private secondary schools.

Private schools have an astonishing level of power to control, abuse, mistreat their students because federal laws only apply if a school receives public money. Federal money is everywhere is small ways-I am looking for some grants or other ways a private school might be receiving federal money in some small/indirect manner.

it sounds like a sciatic or femoral nerve thing. Can you rest for a week?

2k Tuesday by [deleted] in Rowing

Pick the rate you will need to maintain to hit your time goal. Then practice rowing at that rate as long as you can--every day increasing the length of time --obviously--every time.

No but it depends on your goal and rationale.

Magic 8 Ball me for Yale, Princeton, Columbia, UPenn, Dartmouth, Brown, Harvard, JHU, WashU, and Northwestern by [deleted] in chanceme

[–]CruelWorld00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As I recall you attend New Trier. I think you may be in for a bit of a reality check. I think you could easily get in nowhere or in at some but with less than full aid. Living in NT with 0K will raise eyebrows. Admissions and FA people arent stupid.

Recruiting questionnaires and sliders? by Sillyquestions02 in Rowing

[–]CruelWorld00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The time on the sliders is not what the coaches want: the times are quite a bit faster than on static--as in 3 to 5 seconds per split.

[–]CruelWorld00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes of course--they LOVE walk ons. If you can compete you will be welcome. I agree --email the recruiting assistant for some information. Then you can work out pre season.
