It’s going to be a reach. You’re scores are a little low but I think that there is no reason not to try because you just never know.

I disagree with it being a reach. Yes, your SAT is on the lower side for UR, but your GPA, course rigor, and awards/ECs are all in range for Richmond, and admissions at UR are not completely stats driven.

Letter of recommendation from a state level senator

Nominated to United States Naval Academy by my district’s house of reps member. (Notified admission counselor about receiving it and had it added to application).

Honest answers greatly appreciated, rather have a realistic idea than be overconfident from kind but not true responses.

Any input would be tremendous

Thank you
