<p>If I applied by the December 1st, merit scholarship deadline, will I receive my decision status sooner?</p>
<p>If you are a Richmond Scholar finalist you will know that with other finalists. Other than that, I don’t think you get any information sooner. I think even then, technically, you do not get official acceptance until April 1 with everyone else.</p>
<p>that sucks 
thanks!</p>
<p>But I reiterate…“I think…” Check the FA section of the website. I belive there is a timeline on there.</p>
