<p>If you didn’t get in don’t worry - it will get better. I was denied/waitlisted to all of my other OOS schools, so I feel your pain. There is a college out there that you are meant to be at, it may just not be Richmond. Best of luck to all!!</p>

Pretty much no extracurriculars except for an internship as a marketing assistant.
Honestly, not much club activity either.
I had fun with my essays but I had no output on them.
Hooks: 1st generation student, possibly because I’m chinese?</p>
<p>Hopefully I get in through the waitlist!! And receive good financial aid! :D</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who’s accepted (esp cassiebreeze for Boatwright!!) and good luck to everyone on the waitlist! :)</p>
<p>Current UR student (science major if that helps) so let me know if you guys have any questions!!</p>
<p>Are you pre-med? If so, can you give me any insight as to what it’s like? Thanks!</p>
<p>I have not received any information regarding my decision. Is there a way to check online?</p>
<p>@bluelovexD
Do you know much about the 3-2 engineering program? I just want to know if I can pursue ANY major at UR or if I’m limited to only the physical sciences or something. I’ll probably contact them soon but I’d appreciate any insight you may have. :)</p>
<p>I havent heard back either, is it a portal that we check or is the decision emailed to us?</p>
