<p>Are my chances of getting accepted AS A TRANSFER to an Ivy League school or even a good (academically) Division 3 school like NYU or Johns Hopkins improved if my track and field times are faster than their school records?</p>

<p>I've looked up most of the school records and I'd at least place in the top 10 of almost all of these schools for the 55m 60m 100m and 200m. I'm 17, black (if that makes a difference with admissions) going to a community college in the fall for a year and trying to transfer to one of these schools (Ivy, NYU, Hopkins). I won't use any of my eligibility up while in college because they don't have a track team, so I'll still have all 4 years when i transfer.</p>

<p>PS There is absolutely no chance I could get accepted as a freshman.</p>

<p>You will need good SATIs and IIs, as well as a good GPA at the CC to show you can succeed at Ivy level academic work. Great sprint times will get the attention of coaches, but academics will open the admissions door.</p>
