<p>I’d like to know as well. Do only people who move on get notified?</p>
<p>As I recall from being involved in the process a couple of years ago, I did not receive any notification that I was not selected for the interviews. I’m pretty sure there was information in the communications that stated only those who were taking the next step would be notified by a certain date.</p>
<p>The wording is vague on the Richmond Scholars Semifinalists’ application page - see below - but it appears that Nelly2010 is right, and only the Finalists are notified.</p>
<p>Finalists will be notified by email in order to make arrangements for the required scholarship interview. The interview is typically held in mid-March. Finalists automatically qualify for a Presidential Scholarship, which is accompanied by $15,000 annually, for four years.</p>
<p>This is directly from the admissions blog from last year (a Q&A about Richmond Scholars): To the semi-finalists: </p>
<p>“Congratulations! Our faculty committees are already in the process of reviewing your semi-finalist submissions. Finalist notifications typically go out in mid-February; at this stage, all students will be notified, whether or not they advance as a finalist. Around 100 finalists will be invited to interview on campus from March 15-17.”</p>
<p>For everyone else eagerly awaiting news:</p>

<p>Got an email today saying that I’m a Science finalist! Finalists for all programs except the Artist program are being interviewed via Skype this year.</p>
<p>I’m a science finalist too!! Nervous about the Skype interview since I’ve never used Skype before!! Haven’t they invited finalists to campus to interview in the past?</p>
<p>I’m a Science Finalist as well! So excited 
And I had also thought that interviews were done on campus on past years… hmm.</p>
<p>Oldham and Boatwright finalist! I’m so freaking happy. Does anyone know how many finalists are selected in a typical year?</p>
<p>Before this year, they had about 100 finalists for about 45 scholarships. But the blog post linked states that there will be a larger number of finalists this year.</p>
<p>Haha, I hate when they say it’s more and then don’t give a number. Have there been any estimates anywhere of the amount of finalists?</p>
<p>Anxiously waiting for notification of any kind. Have any international students heard from the University of Richmond, regarding their status on the Richmond Scholar’s program yet?</p>
<p>An international student here and University of Richmond is one the two schools I am in love with (another is UChicago)…</p>
<p>Boatwright Finalist!</p>
<p>Has anybody received an email yet saying that they haven’t advanced to the finalist round? I am still waiting for an email and am just wondering if they’re waiting to send out the bad news last. I realize that people probably wont want to broadcast if you don’t advance but I would love to know if you don’t mind sharing.</p>
<p>@specific I am an international and I got the email for Oldham FInalist.
Good luck to you too! :)</p>
<p>AND CONGRATS EVERYBODY ELSE <3</p>
<p>I am an international Student…</p>
<p>Got admitted Boatwright and Oldham Finalist </p>
<p>I’m so excited and happy. </p>
<p>Congratulations to everybody else who got in… I hope to meet you guys soon :)</p>
<p>Wow!! Mmajeed1 and bluelovexD, congrats to you both… It seems highly unlikely that I will advance to another round now, since lots of internationals have already got the positive finalist notifications while I haven’t. </p>
<p>Another reason is that I applied only for ‘OLDHAM SCHOLARS’ and there already seems to be too many international students selected for ‘OLDHAM SCHOLARS’…</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who has found out! I noticed that a lot of science scholars found out on the 17th. Do you think that if you didnt find out then it means you arnt a finalist?</p>
<p>so should those who haven’t been notified expect bad news?</p>
<p>yes, sunshine4, I fear that those who haven’t heard should be prepared for the bad news regarding the ‘Richmond Scholars Finalist notification’… I haven’t got any notification like you.</p>
<p>However, it is equally important to keep in mind that this doesn’t reflect our prospect of getting into University of Richmond.</p>
