+1, especially the part in bold.

Decent D1 school= none.

Bottom tier D1 = maybe ..but they'll be throwing that money at faster guys before they offer it too you.

Zero chance for either academic or athletic full scholarship. Probably same chance to get a half of each to become a "full".

Half tempted to call this number.

What's the chance I can get a full skolly at some decent running D1 programs.

Thank you. East coast preferred not required

You have no chance at getting a full ride to a D1 place with that mess. Your SAT score is horrid, so how you were even allowed to take any AP classes is a mystery. You certainly didn't learn much in them. Your school must suck academically. Your times are too slow. You can walk on at some mid-majors and below for no money with those times, and some mid-majors will take a hard pass on you.

Some crap D2 school or NAIA schools will be interested. I pile on about your use of "skolly". Someone will beat your *ss if you say that around people. You're not getting a full ride anywhere without some serious breakout senior season. You need 8:59, 4:09 to get big money somewhere. Your SAT score isn't doing you any favors.

You need to greatly readjust your expectations.

I coach at the D1 level. Full scholarships are hard to come by in general. I’m talking true full scholarships. Tuition, books, housing, and any extra. If, and I really mean IF, a program is even fully funded they will only have 12.6 scholarships to give out. These can be chunked any way. A program who gives out 12 full rides and then a 0.6 to someone else will probably not win their track championship. Your best bet is to look for distance focused programs. The NAUs, Portlands, and Boise States of the world are where you might see real full rides. But you better be damn good.

Yea what he ^^ said

What others have said. Basically no shot. You may be able to walk on and/or get SOME money (like a few grand a year) from midmajor programs that are in the top half or top 2/3s of their region. But that depends on the program. Any big programs won't give you the time of day.

You could run at most if not all D2 and D3 schools.

He could walk-on to non-major D1 programs, because there are some really crap D1 programs out there. But no shot at a major conference program to even walk-on with those times.

The 2mile and 5k look more promising, so I would focus on getting the 2mile down to 9:15 or so and the 5K to 15:45 or so. Then he could probably walk on to a lot of quality D1 programs. The mile appears hopeless for him.

Could easily walk-on to D3 and probably most D2. But why even bother with D2. D3 is at least fun and you get to compete, D2 is like D1 stress without any of the fun.

Sorry about using skolly. That's what everyone calls is where I go to school. Wow, I have to say that I'm proud of my SAT so those comments are harsh. I'm not the smartest around but I try hard. My times are also pretty good so I think some here are just jabbing me.

I'll look at NAU and Portland. Distance only school is fine with me. I don't need sprinters. I'd likely get better training too. So thanks.

0/10

I'm in the same class and struggling to find the money myself. Even didn't get email responses to some mid-level​ programs

1:52, 4:09, 9:15 decent XC runner

1330 SAT

Hope it goes well for you but it's going to be rough

Beat me to it.

Boy sounds like he should be sipping a full throttle working at build a bear workshop doing Bieber impressions

Tbc, not because of your times or SAT, just strictly because you said skolly. Oh the humanity!

Get your SAT up. I know dumb kids who got 1200+ ez by studying. SAT is dumb itself but it's part of the standard so attack it

I find it extremely difficult to believe that D1 schools are not interested in you with your times, unless you are targetting the very best schools AND demanding scholarship money. It's still early though so you have a lot of time. I started getting a flood of letters and calls during my XC season my senior year.

Some honesty here to contrast the idiot in the other thread claiming to get interest from every school in the country with a 9:12. 4:20/9:20 is baseline walk-on. Scholarships start at 9:10/4:12 for P5 but require 9:00/4:09 to get anything significant.

Unfortunately for D1 you become a small fish in a very big pond. I knew a guy that got a full ride to Syracuse. He was from my town. He ran 1:55.46, 4:11.13, 8:24.08, 9:01.77, and 14:59.0. He was one of the top 3 runners in PA in XC and PA 3200 State Champ in track. That's the level you need to be at for a full scholarship. One of my D3 teammates ran 4:27, 9:37, and 15:58 (similar to you). He only looked at non mid majors and D3 schools because those were the best options
