^^ these are good to go by if you’re looking for massive recruitment help but u have to remember all these times r being done shaved and tapered by mainly upper-classmen at the end of the year… so these are top times. if u can make a B cut in anything then you can swim D3 as a moderately-highly regarded recruit.

anyways, swimmingjew, your times aren’t bad but they’re not that great so depending on your height, improvement, etc. some of the schools on your list could like you to swim for them if they see you as having potential to drastically improve, which is very very possible.

and in terms of academics, most ivies will want you to have pretty good scores and what not, so i’d estimate like a 31-32 for the ACT or whatever equivalent that would be on SAT (i’d guess… 2050’ish?) coupled with a decent GPA. every coach i ever talked to though have guaranteed that they have never had an application which they endorsed be rejected.

and other than the ivies, the other schools won’t care about academics quite that much if they are actively recruiting you… though I don’t know much about the small LAC’s and their policies…
