Rank Ivy leugue colleges.

Your ranking is close to being a rating of their academics than of their running. I mean, last time I checked, wasn't Harvard terrible at running? Princeton, yeah, they'd be tough.

Haha I truly do not know that is why i asked...

Cornell and Penn have the best running programs.

Cornell has the nicest campus.

Harvard, Princeton and Yale have the best overall educational programs and are the hardest to get into, traditionally. New Haven is an unbelievable shithole, though.

Want to have a good running career in the Ivies? If you'd like to go to school in the middle of a big city and do your runs on city streets, choose Penn. Otherwise, choose Cornell.

Academically, the one the Brojo's went to must rank as No1.

how about columbia?

brown

cornell

columbia

penn

dartmouth

yale

harvard

princeton

Ha ha ha, good one.... Cornell > Columbia and Dartmouth, Yale, Harvard-and Princeton?!?!

Cornell maybe > Penn but that's about it.

Lol, p'ton hardest? That's hysterical!

that we look at this question slightly reworded.

What would y'all consider the easiest and hardest ivy leuge colleges to gain admission from by being recruited for running?

Could you post approximate (junior year) times for each.

Perhaps

What times do you have to run during your junior year to have your T&F resume be a factor in gaining admission to an Ivy? Which T&F programs are more likely to have pull with the admissions office.

or

am I reading OPs intent wrong?

Yeah that is what i was asking you're right on, thanks.

XC programs:

Cornell, Princeton, Dartmouth, Yale, Brown, Harvard, Penn, Columbia.

Track: Penn, Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton, Cornell, Columbia, Brown

0/10

You had two goes at LEAGUE..................

What times to get recruited to the ivy "league" schools?

Maksim Korolev really showed how bad Harvard cross country sucks...

Given their admission rates, they are all probably somewhat of a crapshoot regardless of your running.

Granted this story is merely an anecdote, but illustrative. Top runner on my xc team took a recruiting trip to a top D3 xc school. The head coach was telling him that his son was a 4:12 miler in HS and had scored over 700 pts on each section of the SAT test. Still got wait-listed at Princeton.

+1

Coaches only have so much pull with the admissions office. They might give admissions a list of kids to keep an eye out for if they apply, but it is no guarantee they'll get in.

Honestly, if you REALLY want to go Ivy, you should take the initiative and contact the coaches after your junior year to tell them that you are interested in their program. There are prospective athlete questionnaires listed on each of their team websites, so fill those out.

I'm guessing you're a distance runner, but are you a boy or girl? Princeton men and Dartmouth women had the strongest distance teams in 2013-14. Columbia men are stronger in the middle distances.

The BrosJo went to Princeton (Robert) and Yale (Weldon).

Robert coached at Cornell for several years. However, please do not judge a Cornell education by his command of English and math.
