Published recruiting ranges for the girls 800m, by division. The top of a range is where scholarship conversations get realistic. The bottom is roughly where that division stops recruiting, though walk-on routes exist everywhere.
| Division | Top of range | Bottom of range |
|---|---|---|
| NCAA Division I | 2:07.00 | 2:15.00 |
| NCAA Division II | 2:08.00 | 2:25.00 |
| NCAA Division III | 2:11.00 | 2:35.00 |
| NAIA | 2:15.00 | 2:42.00 |
