<p>My neise is a very good sprinter, and her grades are great. She is a Junior now</p>
<p>As a Soph. was went to state in 100m 200m 4x100 and 4x400
FAT times
100m 12.09
200m 25.1
400m 58.1
she would've be competitive at Ivy League championships, looked it up, her times placed her 6th in the 100m and 10th in the 400m</p>
<p>her gpa 4.45. 13th out of 312 in her class
just took the SAT sat.</p>
<p>so was asking which school you think she would have the best chance to get into? If any</p>
<p>TeachTrack,</p>
<p>Congrats on your niece, and thanks for sharin some info about her. I don’t know squat about track but I do know alot about Ivy recruiting. While she does have a very good chance to grab some attention, a lot will depend on her SAT or ACT scores. You can search this site about the Academic Index. It will tell you everything you need to know. Once her SAT scores are in, I think the picture will be clearer about her chances. </p>
<p>In the mean time, she may want to reach out to as many schools as she interested in. There are only 8 Ivys, and there may be a lot of other choices out there.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>TeachTrack- Your nieces times are very good, and if she can continue to perform at that level by the end of senior year, Ivy coaches will take notice. However, as seniors, some girls’ physical development can cause theire times to stagnate, or slow. </p>
<p>If she scores well on her SAT I and SAT IIs (two are required by some Ivies), keeps or improves those sprint times, and has excellent teacher recommendations, she certainly has a shot at track recruitiment. Coaches will want to see her do well in regional level races, win state championships, and hold a team captain position to demonstrate
leadership. </p>
<p>Remember that Ivies do not give any athletic scholarships, only need-based financial aid after careful examination of tax returns and FA forms. Best of luck to her.</p>
<p>Became a captain on her team as a Soph. which never happens. Lat year broke 9 track record as she moved up the regional level to STATE… was sooooo sick on day of State placed only 10th… 
and 13th in the 100 and 200 </p>
<p>yes know physical development makes me worry… She is knows what that can do to track times… She comes from sigle home, so im sure (hope) that need-based would be used… Should i wait until end of Junior year to contact Coaches or now?
I see that Sat NEEDS to be 0ver 31 and SAT over 2110 is that correct?</p>
<p>Yes, those scores sound right for the Ivies. However, if she is super-fast by the end of junior year track season, there may be some flexibility for scores.</p>
<p>For Harvard and Princeton, if a family makes $60,000. per year or less, the admitted student usually pays close to nothing for tuition and room and board. (However there is usually a work-study job given, and an expectation that the student earns about 1200.- over each summer.)</p>
<p>I would recommend waiting until she has her SAT or ACT scores before contacting coaches. Then, you can fill out the potential recruit forms at the athletic sites. (Such as gocrimson.com) Or you can email coaches directly. The coaches really need to see those scores to evaluate whether she is a contender. </p>
<p>You might want to read the details of recruiting at [NCAA</a> Public Home Page - NCAA.org](<a href=“http://www.NCAA.org%5DNCAA”>http://www.NCAA.org) You can see the rules and regs of recruiting, as well as the calendar of when the coaches can contact her. Also, she wil need to register at NCAA at the end of junior year, and send them all her test scores and transcript for preliminary approval- the process takes about six months at least.</p>
<p>As I mentioned earlier, be sure she know which Ivy schools require 2 SAT II Subject tests, some only require one. This is in addition to the usual SAT I. She wants to take the test as soon as her course is over. (She can choose which subjects to take.) See the Collegeboard website for details.</p>
<p>Best of luck.</p>
<p>Sat scores can be a little lower than 2110, especially if she does well in the subject tests Depends also on how much they want her.</p>
<p>I would contact the coach as soon as the SAT results are available. I would fill out both the recruitment forms on the schools website and email the coach with GPA, current times and SAT scores. In addition I would email the coach with her schedule for any regional or national meets she may be attending.</p>
<p>All good advice here, TeachTrack. As far as which schools she’ll have the best shot at, that’s going to be dependent on each school’s recruiting needs that year. If Ivy A has a strong stable of underclass sprinters and is looking for throwers, for example, there may no be much interest. You just don’t have any control over that part.</p>
<p>SAT scores >= 700, while not required, will make the process go much more smoothly.
Good luck!</p>
<p>TeachTrack,
Your niece, not you, should fill out online forms, and initiate and continue contact with coaches. That may not be clear from the responses here. Coaches want to hear from potential recruits, not their parents or other relatives. She’s lucky to have you in her corner, but it’s crucial that she take charge of this. It will be to her disadvantage if she doesn’t.</p>
<p>tks… I WILL have her do it herself</p>
