Those times will get $ at several D1 schools, just not the best ones.

If you run a 5 minute mile you can walk on to basically any D1 school

Curious... I am a junior girl, with a 1560 SAT, 5:03 mile from sophomore year. Would my time be desirable to an Ivy or Ivy equivalent school?

The ivies cost $70k per year if you have hardworking parents.

Yes, my parents and I am aware of the expense. I know my times are good enough to run for the team and I am confident I can handle both the course load and the competing. My concern is that, although I have very high SAT, SAT SUBJECT TESTs, and AP TEST scores, along with an aggressive course load, I won’t get into the school. I’m just curious if my running times will help with admittance. I receive no guidance from my coach or school counselors, so was hoping to get some thoughts here

Yes, it will help. I'd apply to more than one though and make sure the coach is aware of you. The admission committee is not going to be impressed unless the coach tells them to be impressed.

Would someone give me a general list of indoor times, 400 to 3000/steeple that would put a HS Junior on D1 coaches radar?

Thanks

Thanks to all.

Some former Ivy runner could make a few bucks doing a tutorial about how a runner should apply to The Ivys.

You are right on the cusp of getting help. Contact the coaches. Some won’t respond but you will find at least one who will get you in. I will point out the US news article again though where some Princeton professors found that lifetime earnings are the same for ivy grads as to those of the equivalent students who attend other colleges. Bottom line, go where you will have the best experience because you are throwing your money away at an Ivy. People don’t want to believe some Princeton professors? Then why would you want them educating your child?

You will get attention from the ivies. Your mile time is legit (could be elite depending on climate you live in) and your test scores are ridiculously good.

Regarding recruitable times - they vary so much from school to school and conference to conference that there isn't any hard data except for the conference scoring marks from the previous 3-5 years. Check 8th place in your events and that will give you at least some decent ballpark figures to work with determining if you're likely to get money.

Btw I've never heard of a school telling a 5 flat girl that she can't walk on unless there is some really weird background story or red flags.

Gotta continue to improve as a junior, but that would be a good time as a junior.

See what Princeton says:

4:55 to be recruited. 5:05 to walk on after being admitted.

Let's be specific here.

If your household income is $125,000 or less, Princeton will give you full tuition. This is true for Stanford and then about the same for the other Ivy League schools (Stanford of course is not an Ivy League school).

If you make less than $125,000 or so, you will get part of your room and board taken care of also.

Go use the Net Price Calculator to find out.

Now, if you have a big bunch of savings or something like that, then you will pay, but assuming moderate savings (not including retirement) and no crazy assets, what I said is true. The Ivy League schools are VERY good with financial aid based on need.
