Let’s start a separate thread so future years can get an idea of stats, activities, etc for Richmond Scholars.
good idea and I just read that someone received notification yesterday of invitation for interview – anyone else hear yet?
I have yet to hear back… thought I may be considered, but if the decisions have already come out - which idk if they have - then it is what it is.
Anyone?
My S19 had his interview a week ago and they will send decisions by Feb. 25th. Good luck to the other finalists!
Did anyone hear post interview?
Still waiting - previous posts suggested some recipients received a phone call and others an email.
Still waiting as well. I also heard that decisions will be out by the 25th
Good luck to all finalists! FYI, last year my daughter was notified via phone call. I believe it was on Sunday afternoon (Feb. 25th, 2018) around 5PM Eastern. She received a follow-up email the next day (Monday, Feb. 26th, 2018).
My daughter received a call yesterday that she was selected. She is a musician so she did the audition and was notified by that department. I think different people notify so maybe it is somewhat staggered. Good luck!
Congrats to you and your daughter!!
@Marathon21 My S19 has not heard back. With your daughter, did they give her a deadline to commit or does she still have until May 1st? I’m wondering if a student declines whether the committee selects another finalist.
@MagnoliaMom She just received phone call from faculty and no deadline. I am sure there is follow-up info coming. I wouldn’t think there is an earlier deadline to be fair to students who haven’t heard from all their schools to evaluate all offers but I don’t know. I can report when I have more info.
We’re you guys going to post your kids’ stats, etc? We have a D21 who is interested in Richmond and I’d love to see how she might fit with the Richmond Scholars group. 
Our daughter received the call (again) a few minutes ago!! Apparently it was from a NY area code number and had ignored them yday and again today. But at mom’s insistence, she called back to hear the good new!! So, good luck to all finalists and check your missed calls!!
Same situation for my son - he ignored several calls (starting yesterday) and they finally left a voicemail today. He called back to receive the great news!!!
@MagnoliaMom - the email does specify a deadline of May 1st to accept the scholarship and enroll
Has any finalist who did not receive the scholarship heard back from Richmond? I 100% did not get it but from what I read from past years I expected that all finalists whether selected or not were contacted around the same time and notified of their admission early
@rocioarg The acceptance came with the notice of finalist status:
Congratulations! On behalf of the University of Richmond, the Office of Admission, and the Office of Scholars and Fellowships, we are pleased to notify you of your admission to the Class of 2023 and your selection as a Richmond Scholar finalist.
So, finalists were admitted, whether they ultimately received the scholarship or not.
@BirdintheHand Oh ok thank you!
As an internationqk student, the email I got did not state that, so I guess the process is different and admission is not guaranteed
