Hi, I just got deferred from UNC so I would like to hear my chances at getting into URichmond RD because I’m getting really nervous
I applied as a potential PoliSci/Econ major
I go to a competitive all-girls private school that doesn’t give out rankings
GPA: 4.05/4.3 (4.0 being straight As and 4.3 being straight A+)
APs: World History, French, Calculus AB, US History, Environmental Science – all 5s
I’m taking two more AP courses this year (BC and Comp Gov) and most of my other classes are honors level
New SAT: 1590
SAT Math II/Literature: 770
Submitted 2 teacher recs and 1 advisor rec
Activities: Stage Crew for 4 years (head of build my junior year and head of all crew my senior year), Model UN for 3 years, Coordinator of a community service program my senior year, Varsity Golf for 3 years, Political Club for 2 years (secretary 10th grade, president 11th grade)
I also worked at Six Flags as a lighting technician the summer before my senior year as well as attending a week-long internship with my congressman.
My essay was not that great looking back at it, not bad but not super interesting or catchy. I don’t think I was very interested in the school when I wrote it, so now I’m worried because I know Richmond really considers essays as part of the application.
Please let me know what you think! I also applied for the Scholars program if someone could let me know about my chances with that. Thanks!
