<p>Hi, I was wondering if it's worth it to apply early decision II if richmond is my second choice and I get rejected by my early decision school in december.</p>
<p>basically, do I improve my chances by applying early decision II even though I would send my app in a few weeks before the deadline? (versus applying regular decision now)</p>
<p>Hi taormina! This article may shed some light on your question:</p>

<p>Good luck in your decision process. It’s a stressful time! My daughter applied ED last year, was accepted and is absolutely loving life at UR!</p>
<p>hey PA, kinda random question, does your daughter like her roomate? I hear the lady that sets roomates up does a pretty good job. I’m also probably going ED II. Do you think it would help to go down and sit in on a class, because I really want to show as much demonstrated interest as possible haha</p>
<p>Ramsxc, make sure you connect with your regional counselor. That will have more bearing than going in and attending a class. I would highly recommend attending a class, though, as that was the factor that made our D’s decision.</p>
<p>Ramsxc - my daughter has a fabulous roommate. To give you an idea, prior to the start of school in August they were trading emails talking about likes, dislikes, school, etc. My daughter’s roommate sent her an email that started, “Alex, I think you are me.” I have heard that there is a party Senior year for roommates that stayed together for four years and that there is a very large percentage of students that attend. </p>
<p>As for sitting in on a class, I don’t know how much it helps you with Admissions but I would highly recommend doing it if you can. My daughter sat in on three classes. There was an organized event for “Accepted Students Day” but she circumvented the system and contacted department chairs on her own in order to sit in on classes that she was really interested in. The classes were very small and she participated in discussions. She even passed a test in one class. Small classes are one reason she was really attracted to the school and one reason she is really enjoying it. Word of caution though…a class of 9 students makes it very difficult to hide the fact that you didn’t do your homework! So far my daughter has not suffered through that but she has witnessed others who chose activities other than homework the previous night.</p>
<p>Good luck in your search!!</p>
<p>investor- thanks, yeah I was actually going to email Tom Nicholas- my counselor. But most of the questions that I had were in the link that PAVenturer provided, I guess he beat me to the punch. I guess I’ll have to come up with some other questions, because I don’t want to come off as just trying to get him to like me.</p>
<p>PAVenturer- thanks, yeah I was planning on going this friday and then watching the basketball game, but then I realized the seminar I wanted to attend didnt meet on Fridays. I will definitely try to make it down there soon though. And that’s great with your daughter, it’s nice to know if I go to UR i wont just be rooming with a complete random person that I might end up hating. It could happen at Richmond too, but it probably happens less</p>
<p>Ramsxc - Tom is a great guy and will do whatever he can to help you!</p>
<p>Go for it !</p>
<p>RAMsxc,
