<p>You have a good chance of getting in. If you got deferred, they’re going to look at your grades as the year progresses.Acing your classes and SAT IIs or APs will help your chances
good luck</p>
<p>I really hope so! Richmond is my dream school its difficult to picture myself anywhere else</p>
<p>college5775: Does UR gage interest? Stay in front of your admissions person. This is your first choice - make sure they (admissions office) know this! Good Luck!</p>
<p>Bates, good luck at getting in there. My college selection came down to Bates and UR. UR won out in the end, but I thoroughly enjoyed my visits to Bates and my interactions with students, staff and faculty there.</p>
<p>also, after getting deferred, do you think it is better to send them a letter reaffirming that richmond is my top choice and so on as soon as possible, or later around mid February?</p>
<p>college5775 My advice is to write them a letter now. Have your father contact some influential alumni and have them write a letter for you. Keep admissions up on any positive academic achievements or community service projects you are participating in. This shouldn’t be a weekly dialogue but anything significiant - that will enhance your chances of admittance - should be communicated.</p>
