Wait let me find the list I made
Ithaca is a good one but it is costly. Will your mother pay for it? Starting at a CC is also an option.
I looked at a bunch of the schools you guys shared and looked at things people had to say (I know everyoneās experience is diff) and at some programs and the areas around and stuff. I think I def need one or two more safeties though
Smith College
Howard University
George Washington University
Spelman College
University of Washington
Brooklyn College
UConn
University of Vermont
City College
Agnes Scott College
Ithaca College
Loyola Maryland

No idea. Iād assume theyād give some merit money.
Maybeā¦but if they do will it be enough? I would also add a SUNY and a NJ public.

What if I tried to get recruited: I didnāt go through with it freshman year. My 5k PR is a 21:38 but I norm run around 23. I know itās not D1 but I push maybe I could get D2
I donāt even know where.
Iāll look at Binghamton and Montclair

Suny Binghamton and Geneseo may work - theyāre, respectively, the flagship ātopnotch in everythingā SUNY and the smaller/honors SUNY that looks like a private college (kind of Rutgers without the city& split campus and TCNJ if it were located in a walkable college town).
Check those 2 links out:

SUNY Albany is known for Business&Social Science, Stony Brook for Science, Buffalo for Engineering.
Can you run the NPC on a few colleges that your mother doesnāt approve of?
D2 recruiting means only partial scholarships.
D3 means need-based aid and/or academic scholarships.
You can post the question in the Athletes forum, specialists will tell you if your times are competitove and where. If you havenāt competed Junior year though itās going to be difficult - can you start this spring and condition/train every day before then?

But starting at CC probably means living at home and commuting, which I donāt think she wants to do.

I donāt think she plans to keep me either way. I deliberated doing CC and staying with a friend or something until I could find smth stable and transferring when I get enough funds. But I donāt know I gave up on that lol.
Marquette is starting a 6 year BS to OTD program next year and they give a lot of merit!

Oh really? I found out my CC is too. Iāll do more research on both. I saw itās Jesuit though. Is it homophobic/do they impose relgion there
Im going to push to be recruited. I talked to my cross country friends who are at college now and I just need to shave down some of my times in order to start being competive. I donāt know how much that helps but Iām going to at least try

Talk to your coachā¦not your friends. I thought you stopped running?
What about University of Maine? Perhaps you would qualify for the tuition match program there.
I stoped cross country becuase a coach was toxic but Iām still doing track: I only did for this year but I regret it. ESP becuase people were asking me why I would do that. Iāll go back to it
The head coach thinks Iām good I guess. I use to be like 4? And was on varsity since freshman year
Iāll look into Maine
