Hi I’m a junior in high school with a current 3.2 (86.89) GPA. I run track, specifically the 1600 meter and my mile time is a 5:45. Last meet, I ran a 1200 with a time of 4:05 which means ideally, my mile time would be a 5:28 (I haven’t timed myself for the mile since that meet so I don’t know if this could be achieved yet).
What are my chances at being recruited to a D1 school? Does anyone know what the standard times are for being recruited? Ideally, I would like to be recruited to UCLA, Duke, Georgetown, Temple, Syracuse, Villanova, or Virginia Tech, just to name a few. I know this might seem impossible because my GPA is so low, but I am counting on my essays and glowing letters of recommendation to help me. Additionally, I didn’t do too bad on my SATs (2200). I am also a girl scout and am currently working on my gold award project. I have done a lot of volunteer work, and was a 7 year member of a girl choir that toured the country.
Is it really impossible for me to go to any of the schools I listed? Could I be recruited for track? Does anyone know the standard times for being recruited? Please comment any advice!! Thanks for reading this post! Your feedback is greatly appreciated :)
