I'm a senior in high school and looking for a college with a decent academic reputation within 1000 or so miles of Maryland where I may be offered a nice scholarship (half +) between running and athletics. I am positive I will not qualify for financial aid anywhere. I will be responsible for paying for 50 of my college costs.
I am a good student (3.8 unweighted, 10 AP, 1550 SAT) and pretty good runner (9:24 3200 as a junior). I began contacting coaches a while ago but don't think any of them will offer near a half scholarship. Based on what I read on the board, I thought a large scholarship was out of the question but I was recently was offered a couple of full rides by colleges that I didn't initiate contact. Unfortunately, I don't feel that either one is a good academic fit. I was shocked that one of these schools is fully funded and my coach was too because it is so small. Trying to figure out what schools have many scholarships is confusing. Since I got these offers that were unexpected I wanted to see what else I might be missing but don't have the time to search each college out myself.
Thank you in advance for your replies.
