EA 2025 Richmond

Did it go to your child’s email account? And if we didn’t get one is that a sign of it not going our way??

It goes to the account that was used to apply. So, yes, the student’s email. I’m sure everyone got one.

Thank you. Some schools were emailing students and parents. Fingers crossed for all!

Absolutely love that they were so clear about when the kids would hear. Still stressful but at least not about the when - just about the results!

Update. Got the email. Will release decisions at 7pm est

For those of you looking for FA packages, I looked at last year’s thread and it looks like they do not come with the decision. They come a few days later. Just fyi. I do think Presidential Scholarship recipients are notified on decision day but Richmond Scholars is not announced until early Feb.

when i visited the FA office told me packages come out about 2 weeks after decision

ah ok. That sounds late. Last year’s thread shows decisions on Feb 7 and then FA on the 12th but maybe we are just lucky that decisions are coming early and FA still not available until closer to that 2/12 date.

I wish schools would send FA with decisions. It doesn’t affect us, really, since we are full pay but we do have one school that has accepted D and we won’t even know merit until Feb. Hard to know how excited to be about an acceptance until you know how much it costs.

I just finished reading all hundreds talks from 2024.

Presidential scholar is 1/3 of tuition and it will show up in admission letter if you are awarded.

Richmond Scholars will be notified 1~2 weeks later. This is full-ride, not just full-tuition. 75 candidates will end up with 25 awarded. The Presidential scholar will be voided if you later win Richmond Scholar.

Sorry to mention my summary above was for EA/ED.

Last year the finalists for Richmond Scholar were notified the last week in Jan. There was another interview in Feb. and the scholarships were awarded in late Feb.

They said around 7 lol. Maybe they can release a little early. Even a half an hour would help.
