<p>i submitted my application sometime in the fall for REGULAR decision. Richmond is definitely a school i am interested in but not one of my top choices. I actually just applied EDII to Davidson. however, i received an email today saying that i was chosen as a semi-finalist…i had NO idea there was even such a thing! Anyways, I will definitely give it a shot.</p>
<p>I got my notification as well! I’m quite excited. The more I look at Richmond, the more I like it.</p>
<p>My son just got his notification today as a semi-finalist, too! I know what he’s doing this weekend! :)</p>
<p>I got my notification today as well. Super excited! Does anyone know if being a semi-finalist guarantee you admission to UR?</p>
<p>For the people who received their notification, can you share you stats? I haven’t heard anything yet, but I’m still hopeful.</p>
<p>Forgottenmuch, admission is guaranteed for finalists. If you do not make it to the finalist round, when UR emails you to inform you of that, they will likely extend an offer of admission at that time. Rarely they won’t, but most of the time they do.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>stats: ACT 34 (3 x 36 with a 29 M subscore), currently val of mediocre public school, strong enough activities, super-strong transcript for my school, expressed interest in Richmond, passion for writing, can contribute geographical/experiential diversity? (rural waitress). </p>
<p>potential weaknesses: lopsidedness of scores (obviously), no mind-blowing accomplishments. strengths: transcripts, essays, i’m interesting?</p>
<p>i’ve posted more thorough stats elsewhere, if you’re interested. =] good luck!</p>
<p>My basic stats…
GPA 4.390
Rank 2/157 (I’m not sure if that’s the exact size of my class)
ACT 33
Various extracurriculars including tennis, softball, art club, foreign language club (vp), newspaper staff, various other things like some community service… Writing’s a strength of mine, so I’m sure my essays helped. </p>
<p>Sorry if that’s not very specific, but hopefully that gives you a general idea.</p>
<p>I am a semi-finalist!!! Just got the email. I have submit everything else by the 18th of Jan. So excited!</p>
<p>Did the email go to your personal email or your spider mail?</p>
<p>What are the additional materials for semi finalists?</p>
<p>I got it in my personal email address. </p>
<p>Additional Materials= essay or graded paper or slides,video,photos,etc(for the art scholarship)</p>
<p>personal e-mail, PAVenturer</p>
<p>Yesterday I got notified that I’m a semifinalist!!! Good luck to everyone else who is a semifinalist too!<br>
btw my stats are:
ACT: 33
weighted GPA: 4.5
upweighted: 3.9
ECs: ballet everyday, two jobs, peer tutoring, Key Club</p>
<p>Has anyone else gotten a notification lately?</p>
<p>Just in case anyone was wondering (I know others have experienced the same problem), I’m still being considered for the scholarship even though I didn’t get my confirmation email until long after the Dec 15 deadline. You can find this info on the bannerweb site. So as long as you’ve submitted your app by Dec 15, you should be fine.</p>
<p>But I’ll probably not be a semi-finalist because my stats aren’t all that great. :P</p>
