Any Richmond Scholar Semifinalist?

I apologize! I have been looking around and I do not see that clearly stated in an email. It could be that I mixed it up with another scholarship program and I got the date range for Richmond Scholars from prior college confidential entries. Please disregard, and if there is a moderator, please delete this part of the thread.

@grouperman they can’t release your finalist decision until after they receive your mid-year report. Finalists receive their offer of admission when they are notified of their status so they have to wait until your application is complete (and I believe they just wait until they receive it for those who don’t advance as well just to make it uniform, but I’m not sure).

I do know that the Artist scholar committee has finished processing all their semi-finalist submissions and have selected their finalists (but have NOT announced them), but I do not know if that is the case with the other 4 committees.

When I was notified of my finalist status in 2014, I was notified Feb 19th (and Artist scholar finalist visits/phone interviews took place starting around March 19th). However, the Artist Scholar finalist visit is earlier this year than it was in past years, so they may release finalist decisions earlier.

Thanks @guineagirl96 They have received my mid-year report. So I guess I’ll hear any day now!

grouperman It is possible that mid-years could have something to do with it. I try to look at prior year discussions to get a sense of the timing for everything.

You are correct. Within the body of the email is the selection process info. This is where it says interviews will be held between Feb. 28 - Mar. 4

Let me clarify. In the semifinalist email is the selection process which states that interviews are from 2/28-3/4. In regards to mid-year grades Fairfax county will not send them out until next week so hopefully we will begin hearing soon.

@LMHLAW3 Thanks for the interview dates. My semifinalist email did not have this information.

Hey everybody. I’m an international who was selected as semi-finalist. Just want to check, how likely is it that a semi-finalist who doesn’t make it to the finals will be accepted? Also, will they notify candidates who don’t make it as a finalist as well?
-Thanks

@badlands They will notify us either way. I can’t help but think that semifinalists have a strong chance of being accepted even if they aren’t finalists. Good luck badlands. I am thinking that we will hear something tomorrow, Weds.

Thanks a lot. Look forward to hearing about everyone’s decisions. Good luck to everyone.

@grouperman what makes you think we will hear tomorrow?

@an1620 I saw on a thread http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-richmond/1729009-university-of-richmond-scholars.html that last year people started hearing on Feb 18 which was a Weds.

Just received an e-mail that I am a finalist for the Artist Designation! I’m too happy for words right now

Congratulation an1620! So happy for you. Hopefully I’ll hear soon whatever the decision. :">

@grouperman thank you!! Good luck to you and to everyone who is waiting for decision! I think the Artist designation was announced earlier because the audition days are scheduled for March 1-3.

@an1620 And do you have to go to U of R for the auditions? I am trying for other designations and they are by Skype. So maybe it Will be tomorrow when I hear. Good luck on your audition.
