Will they like because I'm a runner? Oh well, I know it's a long shot but I might as well apply.

Even if you get in, what's the point?
Even if they let you walk on, what's the point?
You'll get to run in one home meet a year, if that.
You'll get frustrated and quit the team or transfer.
Go to a juco.
A 4.0 today basically equates to about a 2.75 in the 70s and prior.

Grade inflation in high schools is crazy these days. Even back when I was in high school, a 2.9 wasn't considered horrible. Most big state schools used to take anyone who graduated from high school, regardless of their grades or test scores. They CAN be more selective now because a greater percentage of kids go to college, but that doesn't account for all of it. I look at the number of kids in my daughter's HS sophomore class who just got a 4.0 or better in this last grading period, and it's unreal...no way all of those kids would get a 4.0 back in the 80s.
