Transferring from one Texas school to another.

With those times if you are a freshman or sophomore then I would think any of the programs in Texas would take you. You should likely just ask for the release and get it done if you are not happy rather than coming on here.

I will be a Junior in the fall

Then you are one of the following:

Juan Blanco- 3:49.68

Isaac Spencer-3:50.00

Nick Rivera- 3:50.45

Mark Pinales- 3:52.71

Brandon Lacy- 3:54.71

I think those are all the sophomores sub 3:55 this year, unless you are a RS soph.

I can guarantee it isn't Blanco. He just transferred to A&M.

If you are not looking for scholarship money, just get the release and jump ship. You will get to run somewhere with your times.

Get accepted to the new school first, then talk to the new coach. Your times seem good enough to get on the team.

Then go for the release.

If you don't get the release, transfer anyway and sit out for a year. Better than being miserable.

The thing is I'm not miserable here. I would just like to be at this specific school. But if I don't get in there I wouldn't want to be at the other Texas schools. To put it simply I'm at my second best option currently. I hate being picky but I take my education/running seriously

Send the new coach an email and feel it out. Then go from there.

I have NO doubt that any of the Texas schools would allow you on the team with those marks. You may not get money at schools like Texas or Texas A&M but you would have a spot and get admitted. I would not wait though.The longer you wait the less chance you have of it working.

3.0 GPA isn't average. That sucks- especially with all the grade inflation.

Have you applied to the new school?

So I'm not happy with my coach at my current school. I've been debating on transferring or not. I have average grades (3.0 GPA). Academically the schools are both equal. Team wise they are both equal as well. I don't want to tell my coach to get me a release there unless I'm sure I'll be accepted into the school and let on the team. I'm a good enough runner to make it there and I am well enough off to where I don't need any scholarship money. I won't give specific times so I can stay anonymous. But I will say sub 4:10 mile, sub 3:55 1500, sub 15 5K, sub 25 8K cross. Is there anyway I can find out if I would be accepted onto the team and school without getting a release?

If you ever want people to take you seriously after graduation, I suggest transferring to a non-Texas school.

Someone went to a crappy school.

Why? UT is ranked pretty high.

If you're majoring in business UT is pretty high up on the list.

A&M is also a great school.

Way to be a jerk. I suggest you talk to a therapist seems like you have some loose ends.

I'm looking to transfer to a texas school as well from another D1 program with roughly similar times as the OP. Not sure the steps I would take to do so.

Do yourself a favor BOTH OF YOU

Best decision you'll ever make.

Yeah, their distance runners have been doing amazing!
