Which was your first choice? How do you weigh the pros and cons of the two. We are debating switching to ED at Nova and don’'t have enough time to revisit both.
Same here - in at Villanova and deferred at Richmond. both were top schools for him.
Congrats to all!
OOS daughter ACCEPTED. No visit.
4.0 UW 4.5 W. ACT 34. Student council president. Theater and Arts student with over 500 hours of HS community service. Invited for RICHMOND scholars. Wow. We are excited and assumed this maybe a reach school. Anyone with insight on the RICHMOND scholars process etc ? No way we could afford Richmond without $ help. I guess we need to make a visit 
Congrats to all others who are accepted and deferred. The stats posted on this link show some very exceptional students.

We were deferred from VIllanova as well but accepted here. I hope you are right, VN was DD first choice but we will give RIchmond another look now for sure

How has your son liked the school. Is he in a fraternity? Just trying to gage how critical greek life is to feeling part of the community? Also how does he feel given that he is Hispanic? (we are Hispanic as well)

Hard to pin down the why. I do know that the Richmond president visited my daughter’s school and stated that this years’ application numbers were unprecedented.

Congratulations to everyone accepted!! It is a beautiful school. I am wondering if anyone was denied or placed on the waitlist or if all those not accepted were deferred?

Same here! Richmond Scholars finalists have to interview. Out of the 80 finalists, they’ll pick around ~50 expecting only 25 to matriculate. We found out if we got Richmond scholars sometime in March alongside RD decision letters.

Deferred- is it worth the wait, or just move on?
Deferred… School of Business. Tough weekend… deferred Richmond, Villanova & USC 
If UR is one of your top favorites, there is no reason to strike it from your list just because you were deferred. Nothing is lost by waiting a few more weeks until RD is released.
OTOH, if UR is simply one more extra application to a school you really don’t care about and you already have acceptances from schools you prefer over UR, then sure, move on and forget about it.

If your child is truly interested, with UR a visit and a letter of continued interest will go a long way.

My acceptances were flipped, I got into Villanova and denied Richmond
which was your first choice?
Question? If you are accepted EA with a PS offer does that mean your out of contention for a RS? I see on web RS notifications continue through Feb 1st online. Anyone been thru this before or have insight?
