Richmond ED Class of 2023

@citymama9 I’m sorry. We could be in the same boat though. Sending you mom to mom hug.

@TwinMom2023 Aw thanks. I hope you’re not in the same boat. Wishing you good news soon.

@gardenstategal THank you so much!! You may be right about the extra time needed. Last night she said she might not want to do ED2 to her second fave, and one of the big state schools she was excited about getting into may be too big for her, so I have no clue how this will end, but it should be good.

@portalupdateplz When you are deferred and I guess rejected you get the small business sized envelope, D got deferred and I assume that’s what they do rather than outright reject for ED. Good luck

I’m so sorry @citymama9. My daughter who went through this process two years ago had a few painful rejections. She ended up at a wonderful school that wasn’t initially on her radar, but she couldn’t be happier. This process has some twists and turns but has a way of working out the way it should in the end. Good luck to daughter! Lots of great choices out there!

Mail came - nothing from UR.

What is the portal pay link called? Is it there for everyone? We don’t see it.

We got our mail - deferred

I’m sorry @pc1990 This is painful.

Portal deposit option works. She got home and logged in with ID. I will not get any sleep tonight and won’t be here when mail comes. This is the strangest feeling because we aren’t sure she got in, but the portal works.

@TwinMom2023 I think if the portal works, your daughter is in! Didn’t work for us. I know the waiting is brutal, but I am thinking you will hear good news when your mail comes. My daughter took it pretty well - she knew it was a stretch and will be just as happy at her #2 (assuming she gets in)! Good luck!!

@pc1990 thank you. I appreciate it.There are so many awesome schools out there. Crossing fingers for school #2 for you D19.

Same thing happened to me. I’m confused but hopeful cause I have a payment option.

So this maybe a stupid question, but did anyone else try and pay the deposit before getting the acceptance letter? I used the ID I got in the email after I submitted my app and it put me through to the pay section. After I went through the whole thing and the card got confirmed I hit the finish button and nothing happened. I’m now wondering if I made a big mistake.

We did not get acceptance letter, but used her User ID number and last name. It linked to deposit.

Good news, I got the mail late last night! I’m in a gap year and this follows 3 rejections and 5 waitlisted last year so it makes me very very happy. It was tough being student body president and graduating without a college next to my name, but now I’ve found the best place for me.

Deferred is not a rejection. It’s just a deferment to the regular decision pool. Many students get rejected in ED. You just have to wait until spring for a final answer. Good luck! @citymama9

deferred as well. our college counselor has a call in…perhaps they want to see another set of grades…in the meantime, an acceptance came in with some $$ so that made us all feel better!

She has been accepted - the letter finally rolled in today. Good luck to all.

A big congratulations :slight_smile: @TwinMom2023 and Thank you @caww47
