I think 2:15 is a good benchmark for a female 800 runner to be a supported recruit in the Ivies. Obviously just a very general guideline. Team needs, academic strength and available talent pool all factor into that.

If you’re not quite at that level, you may get the “I can’t support you but I’d like you on the team if you get in” or “I’ll write a letter to admissions on your behalf” treatment.

Just a thought, maybe don’t limit yourself to D1 programs - a sub 2:20 runner with strong academics could find a happy home at many great D3 schools
