Wait listed in NY. Very Disappointed! Is it definitely true that you do not get merit aid if you are taken from wait list? And what about FA? Do you get FA if taken from wait list?
did the letters say anything about acceptance statistics?
Yes I called admissions today. No merit for waitlist kids. They accept more then they expect to take admission. They give more $ then they expect to attend so they said there is no extra $.
Financial aid office said that doesn’t change. If you are eligible for FA and get in you will get the $.
My D also WL… deferred UVA EA - all very depressing! From MA - 3.9UW/4.3W, 1400 SAT… etc, etc… kids like that are a dime a dozen I guess… the letter said over 10,000 applicants this year for 800 places. That does NOT translate to 30% acceptance rate, more like 8%!! What is going on here, why so many applicants?? My theory is that lately kids are applying to insane numbers of colleges which makes it so much harder to get in anywhere. Looks like either her state flagship UMass-A or UConn for my D - she is heartbroken. It sounds like. Any of you are going through the same thing - hang in there - they will all go where they are meant to go!
Accepted today!
31 ACT, 3.85 with 6 AP’s. White male from Michigan, most likely going to attend u of m unless financial aid package is competitive with their very cheap in state price.
@britlass I think what they mean by that is that there are 800 spots available for enrollment, not acceptance
@britlass Only one out of every four accepted students will actually enroll. for the last year available they accepted just over 3100 students, but only 810 enrolled. So for that year their acceptance rate was 31%.
^ That is correct. Last year they accepted 3,100.
Glang77 I get your point - was too upset to figure that out! Only 7% clear WL so she needs to emotionally move on -
Accepted!! 31 Act, 3.93 uw, 4.38 w, 7 APs and strong easays + extracurriculars!!
Also has someone started a groupme or 2021 Facebook group yet?
International. Rejected due to aid. If I can come up with 70k before May 1st they’ll reconsider. Lol alright.
The number of kids who come off the wait list at Richmond is very low. These numbers are posted and not encouraging.
@dowmcr Last year 10% of students who accepted a position on the waiting list eventually were accepted.
Correct…but only 3 % of total students waitlisted…roughly 150 total
ACCEPTED!
30 ACT, 4.7 GPA
Praying for good financial aid because I’ve gotten terrible packages from everywhere else lol
Are they good with aid? They claim to meet 100% need but a lot of my colleges did and I still got almost nothing
@jjohnross Didn’t you get FA information with your acceptance? My son did. It was just about identical to the net price calculator.
@candjsdad im missing info so i have to send it through edocs again. ive sent it 2 times already so hopefully it works this time
@jjohnross That’s annoying! Sorry about that. All I can say then is that ours was exactly what we were expecting from the NPC.
The IDOCS thing is a pain, seems you have to submit it all a few times!
@camwow its not weird! I visited last year as a WL student.
