Can anyone with experience in the college recruiting process give me some insight as to what times need to be run in order to receive roughly 20, 50, or 100 percent scholarships? I read forums on here that say sub 4:10 all day but wonder if that is accurate. (800/1500/1600/3200)

I was offered a full ride for a 4:09 1600 from a second tier D1 school.
The coach said the standards for 100% athletic scholarships from him were sub 1:53 800, or sub 4:10 1600, or sub 9:00 3200.
That's the only help I can provide.
These are Michigan's standards:
Obviously Michigan is one of the top programs in the country. So, you could get $ from smaller D1 schools with slower times. But, many of these schools are not fully funded, so scholarship $ is tight.
there are no more scholarships for athletics. There have not been "full scholarships" for more than 10 years. They are "Packages". Some are equivilant to a full scholarship, but the packages are based on several factors, like family income, recruit's potential, achievements, references from coaches and teachers, GPA, SAT's, and how much the team needs a person for that position. If you are a 9:20 /3200 guy and want to go to Stanford, you might get a partial package. But, you would likely receive more from a school with less depth at that discipline.
My final advice is to expect less. That way, you won't get your hopes up and quite possibly be disappointed.
