Can i get into Princeton with these times?

Question
I am a freshman rower. I am 100lbs and Princeton is my absolute dream school. I want to row there! My 2k is 1:40 and my 5k is 1:42. I'm a girl. Can I get in? I am also a semi-cox and sculler.

Answer
Hi Acadia: Are you really serious!!!??? If you can row a 6:40 2K as a 100 lb female high school freshman, you can row varsity stroke for Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Oxford and the U.S. Olympic womens's heavyweight teams right now.  You could probably even row on the Princeton's men's crew with a time that good.

Ivy league schools like Princeton demand top-level grades and very high SAT scores.  But they will make an exception for you.
