Richmond scholar finalist

<p>boatwright scholar!! congrats to everyone else and see you at the interviews :)</p>

<p>I’m rooting for Oldham with mld719. Fingers crossed that they’re still on their way!</p>

<p>the guy who writes the richmond blog just answered a comment saying that not ALL finalist notification has been sent out yet, but they will be by the end of the week. this is SO nervewracking…</p>

<p>Just saw the same comment. Best of luck to everyone!</p>

<p>My son received an email notifying him he was an Oldham finalist last week. He is over the moon!!!</p>

<p>Hi, I am invited for the finalist round for both Boatwright and Oldham</p>

<p>aarti, when did you receive this email? like, tonight or earlier this afternoon?</p>

<p>Wow! Congrats! Where are you from?</p>

<p>Hi I got the email last Saturday morning Hong Kong time. I am an Indian at the United World College in Hong Kong.</p>

<p>DS2 just got a letter saying he is not a finalist, but it was an acceptance letter!! He is beyond ecstatic. I love UR–it’s great to have such good news to go with the slightly disappointing news! He wasn’t counting on the $$$, so it is ALL GOOD.</p>

<p>I got the same letter as redshoes today! Even though it would have been nice to have the scholarship, it is certainly nice to have an official acceptance! Congrats to all those advancing to the next round, I’m sure you all totally deserve it!</p>

<p>Well, it is Friday afternoon and the Admissions Blog indicated that all Scholar Finalists would be notified by COB today. So is it over?</p>

<p>Dad, don’t give up hope. I just called the admission office because we haven’t heard anything either. At first she said we should’ve definately heard by now, then after putting me on hold for a moment, said we will hear very soon. They said some of the letters (30-40) were held up a little pending second semester grades. Still, I have no idea how to read that. I was hoping she’d just tell me over the phone, but she didn’t.
I hope you get good news!</p>

<p>Actually, maybe it has to do with kids who are on trimesters as we are. Grades don’t come out until next week.</p>

<p>Unfortunately from the info in rhis thread it appears the acceptances went out via email and the rejections only by postal mail.</p>

<p>Is anyone else still waiting for notification either way?</p>

<p>We received the acceptance but no finalist letter on Saturday.
Good luck if you’re still waiting.</p>

<p>Still no notification whatsoever. It frustrates me that the universities ask these kids to jump through hoops for their scholarships (and rightfully so), but do not give them the courtesy of timely notification if they are not accepted.</p>

<p>Left message with the head of financial aid only to get a message back that they send notification and could do so again if we so desired. No, we really don’t want to know… Come on.</p>
