<p>Hey! So I sent my stuff in for December 1st deadline ot be in the running for the richmond scholars program. Do any of you know how soon we find out if we made it to the next round? I really hope things work out with that, so I am super anxious to see what happens, but have NO IDEA when to expect anything...</p>
<p>help!</p>
<p>sharkie,</p>
<p>If the program is set up like it was last year, you should hear by late January or early February whether you have been sent to the next round of possible scholars. This will also be your acceptance letter if you are accepted.</p>
<p>-Richmond Scholar Class of 2013</p>
<p>I got semifinalist notification today, but I think it’s rolling.</p>
<p>I, too, got semifinalist notification today. 
Everything is due Jan 3rd though, so I can’t imagine hearing much later than today. It’s kind of short notice.</p>
<p>i got in too!! does that mean we’re already accepted into Richmond?</p>
<p>Did you get notification by snail mail or e-mail?</p>
<p>My son received notification for the Richmond Scholars today too (via email), however, it didn’t mention that he had been accepted. Does anyone know how many kids get invited to this each year. I understand that only 45 will ultimately receive the scholarship. Please anyone with info please give your input on this. Thanks!!!</p>
<p>To those who have been notified that you are semifinalists, when (approx.) did you submit your application to U of Richmond?</p>
<p>I was Early Decision. I’m assuming if you’re reg. decision and you’re a semifinalist, you’re in the school…</p>
<p>S got semi-finalist notification today. Applied four weeks ago.</p>
<p>If you didn’t receive an email today do you think that means you were not considered as a semi-finalist? Do you know if they typically send out notifications saying you did not make the cut?</p>
<p>I don’t think that it means you didn’t make the cut if you didn’t receive an email today/yesterday. In the past, they have sent semi-finalist notifications out in batches, usually one before the holiday break and a couple after. My understanding is that they only notify semi-finalists, so you will not get a notification if you were not chosen as a semi-finalist.</p>
<p>Dad55 and mld: Thanks for letting me know when you/your son applied. Congrats!</p>
<p>Ok well thats comforting, I have my alumni interview early this week so maybe that helps my case. </p>
<p>Congrats to everyone that has already been notified, would anyone mind posting their stats or basic information?</p>
<p>I submitted my application the night it was due (Dec 1, horrible procrastination I know). Judging from threads on here I think there have been 500-600 semifinalists each year in the past, and you can basically count on acceptance if you get it unless your senior year grades are horrible. My ACT was a 34, 4.02 GPA, and I go to school in Richmond (not sure if that matters or not).</p>
<p>I applied ED so I know I was accepted.</p>
<p>I’m a female from a NC public school.
3.75 Unweighted GPA
33 ACT/1860 SAT (obviously my ACT was much, much better)
President of one club, founder and member of 2 others, plus 300+ hours of volunteering at the same place.</p>
<p>I kind of have a lot of weird circumstances, too, so it’s hard to judge off of me. I’m 16, will graduate at 16, and will turn 17 in July, after skipping a grade when I moved in the middle of 8th grade. I also take a lot of online classes in a special program from NCSSM, a really awesome math/science school in NC.</p>
<p>wait so for the people who have been hearing back from Richmond, are you early decision or regular?</p>
<p>i applied RD before the Dec 1st deadline…when should i be anticipating my acceptance/rejection letter and notification about Richmond scholars?</p>
<p>I was regular decision. They notify in batches with seperate deadlines for the extra materials you have to send for each. You should hear sometime between now and mid to late January if you get it, if not they don’t notify you.</p>
<p>My son applied by 10/1 regular decision. I called the school to see if this meant that he was accepted. The woman who answered said, “well, since he applied RD we are suppose to say that nothing is definite until you receive an acceptance letter.” So I assume that unofficially he appears to be accepted but nothing is etched in stone. </p>
<p>His stats were:</p>
<p>ACT- 34
SAT- math-670 CR-700 W 780
GPA- 102.44
rank 7/600
ALL AP’s and Honors through out high school and all A’s
9 AP’s all 4’s and 5’s except one 3
SATII math 1- 660 Bio -710
JV/V sports, community service, school clubs w/officer positions, school service, summer programs, part time work (20-30hrs/wk every summer in High school), church service</p>
<p>His essay was probably his biggest hook. All tutors, teachers, counselors etc. who read it said they had never seen anything like it. It was a metaphor on a topic most kids wouldn’t write about.</p>
<p>Although most of these questions have already been answered in this thread here is an official FAQ for Richmond Scholars recently posted by the admissions office. Sadly looks like they are notifying slightly less semi-finalists this year. </p>

<p>Should I be nervous if I didn’t get anything yet? I’m really banking on this scholarship (literally and figuratively lol).</p>
