Hey! I applied EA to Richmond. Did you ED? From what I’ve heard, and the kind of people applying here from my school (I’m all the way in India), it’s going to be super competitive, I don’t even think I’ll get in. Best of luck to you though!

I’m going to apply second round early decision. I originally didn’t count on even applying to Richmond, but after looking at it some more I really liked it. I’m actually going to tour it tomorrow morning.

Your UW GPA is on the low side for UR, but admissions is very holistic, so I think you’re definitely competitive.
