University of Richmond EA decisions

Does anyone know how the decisions are coming (letter, online, email, etc.)

UR typically notifies by letter only for all admissions decisions, with the exception of scholarship recipients/finalists (Richmond Scholar Finalists are typically notified of their status via email and receive their notice of admission in the same email).

According to the admissions website, approximate notification date for EA is Jan 20 and April 1st for RD.

Did anyone get the mailer from UR yesterday? It was hysterical. Lists of spider movies and books to read while waiting.

My DD received a view book soon after applying EA and the “waiting” mailer a few weeks later. The mailer was very clever and actually moved UR up on her list!
Alas, the waiting continues!

Just curious if anyone else is having trouble logging in to myapp.richmond.edu?
In attempting to confirm that some FA documents had been received, I found the site down.
Maybe something is happening???
Hopefully decisions will come out a little early.

the same thing is happening for me

Yep its down for me too. Fingers crossed

Site’s up for us…
No changes that I can see.

Hey everyone! Current student here at UR. Bannerweb was down for all students earlier today, but it is now back up. That is probably why you could not log on! :slight_smile:

Anybody with info about the actual EA admissions release date?
I know they mail them, so maybe Tuesday??

From the admissions blog:

“We’ll mail EA decisions no later than January 20th, so you can expect them to arrive sometime late next week or early the following. We’ll announce on the @URAdmission when they go in the mail!”

I emailed my admissions counselor and she said they have a target mailing date of January 19th. So they’ll probably be mailed on Friday.

Will they be released online anywhere? On BannerWeb or via email? I stay in India and I don’t know how long it’ll take for it to reach me.

@slaythedogma - I’d check with your admission’s counselor or just email admissions. I am sure they update the portal at some point, just don’t know when. Typically, the school sends you an email when status changes online.

UR does not put admissions status on bannerweb. However, they may email international students about their acceptance. I would ask admissions what their policy is with India.

My son applied EA to Richmond. He just received an email from the admissions office saying that his application was incomplete: They need his most recent grades by the EOD today. Are they still on the fence about admitting him early, or are all EA applicants required to submit first term, senior year grades and he somehow missed that?

@Unionville5 , we received the same email yesterday. I believe all EA applicants are required to send them. Usually your school’s college counselor’s office sends them. Ask them about it.

My D also got the email about first semester grades. Her school has been closed due to snow, but she’s asked her counselor to send them ASAP. The email she got said they needed to be sent “no later than January 19th”, although there was also a provision about the inclement weather saying to send them as soon as possible if weather was impacting your school. I’m guessing my daughter’s admission decision won’t go out tomorrow since her grade report won’t arrive until tomorrow morning at the earliest. Darn.

This could be an error. Check with your HS counselor first. My Senior received a similar message last week. Grades (including first trimester) had been sent in November to Richmond. Our regional admission’s person confirmed receipt, and ultimately the portal was updated.
