I ran a 4:20 mile a couple weeks ago, I have very good academics, what are some good academic/athletic colleges to check out to maybe walk onto and gain scholarship as I go?

You gotta be more specific than that. Where do you want to go? What type of school do you want? What do you wanna study? Are you more running focused or academic focused? Otherwise there are 100s and 1000s of places you could go. Also what are your academics like: SAT score GPA etc

If you have super good grades somewhere like BU would probably let you walk on/partial scholarship. For the most part it depends on what you want from schooling, don't let running dictate your education, student athletes are students first. Best of luck
I’d like to run at a d1 program with good medical and a good team. I’d like a running focus still with a good degree for after college. I have a 4.00 and 1360 sat

Does location matter to you? Where are you located? Do you want local?
You can't walk onto a good team with a 4:20. You need to run 4:10 to make a good team. What part of the country? How much do you want to spend?
I’m open to going wherever location wise
4:20 in d1 college programs is mediocre. id look at d2 if I were you. you could compete pretty well there
look for good medical schools that you think you can get into. most of them will probably be D1 with a program you would enjoy. Then contact their coaches. Also are you a senior?? kinda late to be just starting to think about colleges if you are.
look through niche.com it is the most intuitive for college search
Go to an in-state college, save money. Take a year to improve that mile time while doing some college races unattached or join the University club team if they have it.
Run a faster time mile time unattached at a collegiate meet during your freshman year and get noticed. You don't want to be the guy struggling in workouts with a bunch of 4:0X or 4:1X guys. It's detrimental to your development as you'd be straining all the time to hit times.
you are a senior in high school and only thinking about college right now? aren't most college apps already closed now? you don't even have any real specifics about the kind of school you want to go to? might not be as smart as you think bro.
start emailing coaches of schools you are interested in. good luck.
UCSD would probably take you with your grades and times. The location and academics are top-notch and their team is pretty decent as well.
I think every college except maybe BYU in Utah would take you. The D1 walk-on standards here seem to be about 4:25 except for BYU where you’d want sub 4:20 at least.

I’ve got a friend who’s trying to walk onto BYU - he was told the standards were 1:53,9:25, and 4:15.

Uhh, the OP needs to finish undergrad before he can go to med school. I realize only two years is required, but the vast, vast majority of doctors in the US have a 4 year undergraduate degree prior to entering med school.
