Ok, can someone clarify this for me. What times are Ivy League schools and peer institutions (ie Duke) looking for in the mile? And does it matter when it was run? For example, I was injured all of my junior year but I have recently run some very fast times. Am I on the same level with someone who ran that time from junior yr outdoors?
thanks.
it would help if you posted your times
I ran a 4:18high full mile last weekend
sorry man but it is too late to apply to ivy leagues and peer institutions, but yes that time would get you a slot at those types of schools provided good grades and 1300 sat
i know for sure, you can't still apply to columbia, duke, gtown, etc..
maybe try cornell, yale may have a slot still available, otherwise try some uaa d3 schools or michigan state
I already applied to many of these schools and have the grades/scores... so are senior indoor times equitable to junior times?
just make sure the coaches know what you are doing, so that they can possibly give you a bump in admissions
most Ivy league coaches have little pull. Aside from princeton, the ivies arent great running schools and dont require fast times. Running will have very little to do with your admission. Although i have heard harvard got a few quality guys
Well to answer your question, no. If you ran 4:18 junior year it would be assumed that you would run faster your senior year and schools that give out money would probably give you more. Also you would get a lot more phones calls from coaches recruiting you. 4:18 is still great and hopefully you will peak right and run faster outdoors. But talking to the coaches at the schools you applied to is a great idea and go on recruiting trips if you haven't already to get a better idea of how things will be for the next four years.

I would just call or email the coach if I was you. Rojo the founder of this site coaches at Cornell.
It never hurts to call, notify the coach if you are running a lot better than when you applied. If you were running 4:30 last year they probably aren't looking at you but with a 4:18 they might.
It's my understanding that colleges can take athletes as late as July 15th after high school graduation. It never hurts to contact the college coaches directly and get the straight information from them.
