Hello! I’m so glad that you are taking an interest in the University of Richmond (where I will be attending as class of 2021).
I did some translating because my high school worked on the 4.0/5.0 scale.
91 UW = 3.7~ / 101 W = 4.04 ~
If I remember correctly, the average GPA for Richmond when I was admitted (they had it on a screen and haven’t put up my classes stats yet) was a 4.2 W (I don’t remember unweighted).
YES! Definitely take that SAT again, I haven’t heard of a single person below a 1200 get into UR. 1200 is the bare minimum (giving you the lowest chance without considering other factors). There are people with much higher SAT’s that get waitlisted or rejected.
Based off of this information (and if your SAT or GPA didn’t improve), I’d say that you would be rejected or waitlisted at Richmond.
With a better SAT (and seeing your ACT, I have not doubt it will be higher) I’d say that you would probably get in (as Richmond is very holistic). You’re ACT might actually be average or a bit below, but I feel like with your leadership and jobs that you’d be fine. There is still a chance you will be waitlisted or rejected though.
I’d say you’re currently in the “Reach” range, but will move into (as I say above) “High Match” (meaning very close to still being a reach area) range during Senior year.
Hope that helps! Good luck!
Why Lehigh? Is there a hook you have that you have not mentioned like a recruited athlete?
