Should I go D1 next year to walk on at Georgia/Auburn/Georgia Tech? If I go to a better school would I improve more steadily with better teammates and teams that are top 10 in the South, or should I go to a smaller school like georgia state/west georgia and get more racing in, and transfer in 2 years?
i want to go somewhere where i can improve the best, just because i can race more doesnt mean i will improve by the smaller schools training regimen...advice?
Your question seems like one much more about racing, and improvement, than about grades and getting acceptance into a school, so i am puzzled why you included that information.
First thing to do is figure out your priorities...if it is running on a top level team, well then you have your answer, if it is trying to use your athletic ability to get the best education possible even if scores arnt so good, well then I guess you know your answer too. As for where you would race and improve more, thats just an issue of how comfortable you feel with a certain coach.
Go walk on at Georgia. If Dave Hartman is still there, that is. He's one of the best coaches out there.
yes i know a D1 school would be better academically, i just want some advice from people who ran small schools and did well, or had bad experiences..etc.
i just think that if i went to georgia tech or auburn that i could improve more although i may not race as much for a year or so....but my current coach said that in college your training is up to you and if you want to get better personally because a coach will always direct workouts to the best of your ability no matter where you go...especially in the off season you can improve also

no, a d1 school is not better academically. if you know what you want to study, do some research on schools. you may find that there are several d2, maybe even d3, schools that have better credentials than d1 schools.
don't think you'll get into ga tech with those boards and probably not ga. maybe auburn.
You have got to get those sats up
I go to a small school. I ran around 15 40ish in high school.
I went to a smaller college and i love the training and feel like I'm in the best shape in my life. Academics are great here too. Talking to my freindss at D-1, i think the information i am learning in class is and the teaching style is a lot better at the smaller school.
I like you am hoping to transfer after 2 years and i would say look smaller then larger.
i ran 9:56 3200 and went d1 as a walkon. ended up scholarship by jr year. Its all about keeping up the work as others come and go
true, i know my SAT sucks, but i am taking the ACT in on the 27th so i hope i can do better on that. my GPA is good enough to get into most schools i want to run at though
now that i think about it, i dont know if i would want to go to Georgia
