<p>Anyone who was offered this scholarship, can you please list your stats?</p>
<p>Gabby1116, my daughter is currently attending Richmond as a science scholar. Her stats were 36 ACT and 4.0 unweighted GPA with 12 AP classes. Somehow I don’t think that information is what you wanted to hear.</p>
<p>Thank you very much, that is exactly what I wanted.</p>
<p>Gabby1116, my daughter is currently attending Richmond and is an Oldham scholar. She had a 2250 on her SAT and 5AP classes. She had some very unique experiences as an undergrad and what I would call “demonstrated passion.” While good grades and good scores help you, I think Richmond takes a close look at the rest of the package.</p>
<p>Thank you very much auntcc.</p>
<p>I agree with the person that said that Richmond looks beyond stats. It really is a very holistic process, and you come to find that out during the interview process. Hope this helps you out. And best of luck in the application process! If I can provide any help, let me know =]</p>
<p>I’m an Oldham, by the way.</p>
<p>Stats:
Class rank: 4 out of 503
GPA: 4.0 UW; 4.583 W
SAT I: 2300
SAT IIs: French 700, Literature 800, US History 800
APs, Honors, etc: Took 11 AP classes, but ended up taking 12 AP tests (AP World I decided to take on a whim since my school offered to pay for it to see if I could get credit). Took all honor courses possible.
ACT: 32</p>
<p>Do you need extra-curriculars as well?</p>
<p>So I guess I’m bumping this because I’m applying for this program. 
Any other class of 2014 people applying?</p>
<p>Me, i doubt I’ll get any money though, im right in the middle 50% of most of the stats, some higher, but it never hurts to try.</p>
<p>Just to provide some insight on the opposite end of the spectrum, I had a 2100 SAT, good extracurriculars, great essays (at least I was told), and only made it to the semi-finalist round for Richmond Scholars (they pick hundreds of semi-finalists, about a hundred finalists, then about eighty scholars).</p>
<p>I applied for the Richmond Scholars.</p>
<p>Avantegarde - My D sat in on some classes and had an interview. She LOVES UR and was well prepared for a good interview. The interview was conducted by a student and lasted about 15 minutes. The interviewer asked one question. In our research and discussion with UR people it does seem that UR is looking for a lot more than stats but the interview was useless. We’re keeping our fingers crossed - she applied ED and we are optimistic that she will be a Spider next year!</p>
<p>I applied to Richmond for this program, but technically so did everyone else who applied before Dec 15th. Do you think I’m at a disadvantage for being an out of state applicant? And if you end up being a semi-finalist, how much money is offered, or would they just consider you for the Presidential Scholarship?</p>
<p>I applied as well. The information on this thread is pretty interesting.</p>
<p>biobabe- I don’t know why you would be at a disadvantage as an out-of-state applicant. Richmond is a private school, not public, and it is generally a positive thing to have students from a variety of geographical areas. You should be fine.</p>
<p>Biobabe, there is no money for being a semi-finalist. Most recipients of the Presidential Scholarship are the finalists who don’t make the actual final cut, and then it could overflow into the best few semi-finalists.</p>
<p>ok thanks hbeck and kelliebm for clarifying that for me</p>
<p>My daughter had a 3.8 unweighted at a private school with numerous AP courses and honors courses
34 ACT
Numerous extra-curricular including student council, team captain and 7 varsity letters, all-state band, many, many hours of volunteer work</p>
<p>She was not awarded any scholarships but is attending Richmond</p>
<p>This may be a dumb question, but is there any other way for you to be a Richmond Scholar if you apply AFTER Dec. 15th?</p>
<p>No. Read: [Want</a> money? Start now. Richmond Admissions Blog](<a href=“http://admissionsblog.richmond.edu/2009/10/12/want-money-start-now/]Want”>http://admissionsblog.richmond.edu/2009/10/12/want-money-start-now/)</p>
<p>I submitted all parts of my application on Tuesday, December 15th, 2009 expecting to be included in the selection for the scholars program? Was I too late? I think I was confused by the word “by” a certain date which, to me, feels as though it is inclusive.</p>
<p>My understanding (from information on the Admissions page of the UR website) is that if your application is postmarked no later than 12/15 then you are eligible for Richmond Scholars.
