<p>If you can add a little diversity and don't come from the mid-atlantic area - it will be considered. If you are from the West or an unrepresented area - give it a shot. DO check to see if anyone from your school has attended and how they did and talk to them. Do check with local alums. Do talk to admissions counselors at school and visit if possible.</p>

<p>I'd say you have a pretty good shot, especially if you apply ED, even otherwise, though you'd probably be a lock if you could get that SAT to 1800+, and I'm almost positive Richmond looks at all 3 sections of the SAT equally.</p>
