i heard contacting ivy league coaches for certain sports helps your admission proccesses is this true? if so, do i just email these coaches telling them i am interested in running track for college? btw ive been varsity for indoor and outdoor track since freshmen year, qualified for districts and regionals, broke school records.|||Just look on the school's website for the email of the coach--then just email him telling him you're interested in running for him. Tell him your name, age, what school you go to, and your best times. You might want to do a little research ahead of time to see what kind of times the current people on his team are running, so you'll know about where you'd fit in. If you feel like you have some work to do, let the coach know your goals. Also, you should probably point out your grades and stuff.
When he emails you back, he'll probably want you to fill out a form or something with your top times and some general academic info. Just make sure you email him every once in a while with updates on your races.
Last, you'll probably want to visit these schools. You get 4(?) official visits where the schools will pay for you to come and see the university. Take advantage of them--it'll let the coach know you're interested, and it will help you make a decision.
However, an Ivy League is an Ivy League, and you still need to have good grades (just not as ridiculously good).|||I attend an Ivy League school and a lot of our runners were state and nationally ranked. Once you get to that level, they'll call you. You won't have to worry about calling them.
You can fill out recruitment forms on most Ivy sports websites. Sports won't necessarily help your admission - unless you are nationally ranked. So, you'll notice that the forms start with GPA, SAT, SAT IIs, class rank, etc.
