University of Richmond co2021 RD

I received the same letter! Do you know where we are supposed to register for the admitted student program? I cannot find anywhere to register online. Also, some people have mentioned Richmond Scholars, but I never heard anything about that, so can I assume I´m not a Richmond Scholar and just received a scholarship right? Thanks if anyone know the answers to these questions,

^^ @pinkspider17 and @mackyg

@stressed2k17 yeah you would have been notified if you were a richmond’s scholar finalist in December. I’m not sure where that is though sorry

@stressed2k17 you would know already if you were a Richmond Scholar, which is the full tuition/full ride scholarship program. Semifinalists were selected in Dec/Jan, Finalists in Feb, and the interviews have already taken place and those selected notified. If you didn’t receive any notification from Richmond Scholars, you were not selected as a semi-finalist.

If you have been notified that you received the Presidential Scholarship, that means you have been admitted with a 1/3 tuition scholarship. Congrats to those who received it, both for the scholarship and your admission! You’ll receive your admissions letter and package in a few weeks.

Did everyone notice a new “Manage/Sign Up for Direct Deposit” link on their online portal? It kinda weirded me out.

@Strictly56 I have to too but I doubt it means anything.

Anyone else?

Yes@Strictly56 noticed that link also. Not sure if it means anything but agree- did not know what to make of it. @Strictly56

Did anyone submit a resume? there was no spot to on the common app. Should i have sent one in to my counselor there?

@stressed2k17 did you get that letter via email? Or regular postal mail?

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but what day are RD decisions expected to be released? How are they released (mail/email/portal?). Thank you and good luck.

The last week of March I believe

@guineagirl96 do you know of letters are mailed only with decisions or are they both emailed and mailed?

Snail mail only. Watch twitter, they usually tell you when they are mailed.

Thank you @cloudysmom. Also I noticed a new link on my D’s app status that says ‘manage/set up direct deposit’ do you think that means anything?

I think that is probably good news! Can’t promise, of course, but I have watched this happen & it seems whenever anyone sees this it’s almost always, if not always, good news. So I’d be cautiously optimistic!!

Does anyone not have the direct deposit link now?

Nope. I still have it, and I think everyone has it as well. I don’t think it means anything even though I WISH it does.

My D never had it till she got accepted (ED), just my 2 cents.

@guineagirl96 One-third tuition is a scholarship of $17K, right? This is not as generous as I originally thought it would be. Or do they take 1/3 off of tuition and room and board?
