[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Ivy recruiting standards for track are the same or very close to the big state schools. Penn, Princeton and Harvard have strong runners and great coaching. The downside to the Ivies is no athletic money but you get admission to the Ivy. [/quote]

Most ivies will take some runners who are 4:19, 9:15 with high stats to balance 4:07-4:13 runners.  These slower runners will typically max out the academic index, so 4.0 max rigor plus sat 1550+.  [/quote]

It's definitely a moving target and idiosyncratic.  I think the bottom line is that if your kid hits the recruiting standards that are on the website, and are at the 25% for their SAT distribution you probably have a very good chance of getting in.  Things change of course, standards change every year.  For instance, in throws Cornell, Columbia and Princeton got a lot of throwers that were the top high school throwers in the country and they have been performing well in NCAA.  So their standards are now higher than a lot of the large state school.  Ironically,  most of the boys were from NJ and they were all really smart kids.  Really smart.  Valedictorians, etc.[/quote]
