<p>My D started running her senior year of HS. She started off running indoor track and ran 5:30 for the mile, 12:04 for the two mile and didn’t touch a 5K. She wasn’t going to run in college but during outdoors she ran 5:14 mile, 11:00 2 mile and 18:29 for the 5k. She ended up running for the school she currently attends. In her first XC season she ran 22:19 6k. However she isn’t happy there and wants to transfer mainly to Columbia. She went on a campus visit and met the coach and he told her she was pre-admitted or something like that. She handed in the early financial aid application and wants to send in her application but isn’t sure if she should. Now a teammate told her that the Columbia coach is probably not really interested in her but didn’t know how to say no at first. I know she doesn’t run great times but she’s only been running for a year and in six months was able to run 5:14 and 11:00. Does she still have a shot at columbia or is the teammate right?</p>
