@aos182
I love how you bailed on this thread when we asked you questions

8

@Shabeezy @rockyc
I got my physical letter today, already informed of acceptance as a Richmond Scholar. I think this is the RD letter, so everyone should be getting it soon.

9

@Shabeezy @rockyc RD letters aren’t out yet. Only those who are Richmond Scholars, presidential scholars, and early decision applicants have received their letters. RD people should get their letter around the last week of March.

10

sorry for the late reply i’m on vacation. yes I believe presidential scholars and Richmond scholars have been informed. i made this thread b/c I couldn’t find any results threads, including ED applicants. I’m not sure when all other RD applicants will be informed.

11

I made a ED thread but those results came out last month so it sort of fell off…

12

This thread appears to be a duplicate of
http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-irvine/1960972-uci-class-of-2021-applicants-p25.html
the more used thread where people have been posting results since February. This thread should be deleted.

13

@davisgirl this is for University of Richmond. Not University of California Irvine?

14

Sorry!! Wrong copy/paste

15

Is it bad if I ask if I can add a letter of recommendation now?

16

@neutopschool booiiii admissions are coming out like in the next week or so lol

17

@neutopschool Might be too late but sure, call & ask, why not! Maybe you got in anyway?!

18

@camwow @cloudysmom thanks, I think I am going to decide against it. My parents sent in a letter for me a few weeks ago so that should be fine.

19

RD decision letters were mailed today

@Glang77 Very exciting, fingers crossed for you all!!
