<p>I just got word that "all Richmond Scholars semifinalists have been notified, by email and postal mail."</p>
<p>How did you get word?</p>
<p>Via Twitter from the UR Admissions Dept. It is also on the Admissions page of the website now.</p>
<p>Thanks. D is National Merit Semi-Finalist with 3.9 GPA and 1580 out of 1600 but not even considered. I guess I am surprised, but nothing should surprise me in college admissions!</p>
