Im a senior guy and I was quite lazy throughout high school. And my GPA is just awful. I put more work into running, which was stupid. My 5K PR is 15:42 and I was top 20 at my state meet. I had been talking to a couple D3 schools and there was one I considered no question the top of my list. I just found out today I did not get in, even after the coach telling me he was pretty confident I would be accepted. He told me I had good chances of being admitted for the spring semester, but I’m not sure I’d want to do that.
I’m only talking to one other school and honestly I don’t want to go there.
What do I do now? I honestly have no idea and I’m so lost. I was very set on going to that first school, and several people told me I was 100% going to get in. I haven’t talked to any other coaches and it’s too late to apply to most schools. I really want to run next year.
