<p>hello, I'm a male sophomore, running track and cross country, and i am hoping to be recruited to run at either Dartmouth, Brown, or Yale. here's my general profile:
-4.0GPA going into junior year (took all honors courses fresh/soph years)
-in my highschool's highest band
-will be taking pre-calc and 3APs junior year(bio,eng,u.s.hist) and multiple APs senior year
-my grandfather attended Dartmouth (will this help in overall admissions to dartmouth?)
My strongest track events are the 1600m-4:38, and 800m-2:03. im hoping to greatly improve these times next year! any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
(as for cross country, i was injured sophomore year, so i will see how i do junior year) my last 5k was 17:40.</p>
<p>…why did you post this here?</p>
<p>Indeed, being a legacy helps.</p>
<p>Be smart and take hard classes and get good grades and have pretty essays.</p>
<p>Well, I am not sure about you being accepted. No one is except Cornell Admissions! I am wanting to transfer this upcoming spring to Cornell, and I am also a collegiate athlete. I still do not know if I plan on running for Cornell if I do get in though. I am leaning towards not running competitively. </p>
<p>Anyhow, Cornell is D1. They aren’t like Oregon or Florida State, but you have to be a decent runner to run for them. If you can drop your mile time to sub 4:30, your 800 time to sub 2:00 and your 5k time to low 16’s at the least, you might give the program something to work with. Just try to e-mail all the schools you are interested in and their coaches. They know a lot more than me or any other poster on this website. Academically, you are looking good though.</p>
