ED or regular at University of Richmond?

<p>Hi everyone, I am wondering if you think that applying ED would be beneficial to me with my applicant status. Would applying ED increase my chances of admission? my GC said that U of R is more generous with ED applicants than with regular. </p>

<p>My Gpa weighted is a 3.91 (unweighted 3.58), but I have greatly improved as a student from freshman to junior year.
My complete schedule is:
Middle school: Algebra 1, French I and French II
Freshman: English honors, Introduction to business and marketing, P.E.,French III, Pre A.P. world history (basically honors), Geometry, Earth science honors. (freshman and middle school GPA: 3.63)
Sophomore:P.E., English honors, French IV, Chemistry, Algebra II, A.P. World history, Honors Biology (4.03 GPA)
Junior: Academic U.S. History, Honors English, A.P. Chemistry, A.P. Biology, Pre-calculus, A.P. Economics, French V (4.24 GPA)
Senior Year schedule (Will start this fall): A.P. Human Geography, A.P. Government, Philosophy/International relations, academic English, Physics, A.P. Calculus, A.P. French. (halfway through the first quarter I have an A or A+ in every class)
My current ACT scores are:
English: 29
Math:30
Science: 32
Reading: 33
Essay: ? (score from my last test was a 9)
Composite: 31
My extracurricular's are solid. I have spent a large amount of time shadowing doctors at the hospital, which I believe to be my most unique activity.
I am getting my letters of rec from my A.P. Econ/A.P world history teacher, GC and the supervisor at the hospital I volunteered at.
Class rank: top quarter</p>

<p>Your UW GPA and ACT score are just a little shy of the typical accepted rate. I’d wait to apply RD so your great senior grades will appear on your transcript, and try to bump up your ACT a little. Getting English up into the 30s should be your primary goal.Your scores as they are now would probably lead to a waitlist from Richmond. Applying ED may be a good way to go too, though, if you’re positive you want to go to Richmond.</p>
