Well for one I didnāt submit any SATs or ACTs, secondly we donāt use the GPA system in my country and lastly my school doesnāt offer AP classes. So my context is different.
Oh how lovely. We have applied to similar colleges, haha. I also applied to Colgate, Stanford, Princeton, Harvard, Cornell and then Yale was my Early Action, but I got deferred. Then apart from these six listed above and Richmond, I have 14 more college decisions awaiting me. Itās going to be a long wait.

I havenāt been to Ethiopia and I would really love to visit. One of my favourite singers is from there, you know Betty G? Yeah. Iād like to go there go there one day. Haha, are you a female or male?
I wrote to the admission office to try and find out what is missing from my file but I think it has to do with my financial aid application. My non-custodial parent waiver petition is under review and has not been approved yet which means my financial aid application is slightly incomplete, considering they still need to assess everything. Other than that, I donāt know what else is missing.
And yes, my financial aid is significant which I have learnt can be disadvantageous at a need-aware college. Is yours significant as well?
Lovely, Iāll be going to Japan in Hiroshima and Nagasaki sometime this year.

thanks to those of you who have shared your āstatsā - so impressive. Helps to color in the lines a little bit. A big congratulations to all who have been accepted! I fear the waitlist dance will be a little tortuous this year with so many applying to so many more schools than usual. We shall see!

Itās just now hitting me how difficult it was to be accepted after reading commentsā¦ I wouldāve never thought Iād be someone commenting an acceptance on these type of postsā¦ to those waitlisted or rejected: have faith in yourself! I know not everyone is Christian/Catholic, but Jeremiah 29:11 helped me a lot throughout the college process. Regardless of your religious background, believe in yourself; everything happens for a reason and you WILL BE SUCCESSFUL! good luck to everyone!!

Quick question for accepted applicants did you receive an acceptance package in the mail? Or only the decision online? Weāve received for other colleges but not richmond. Thanks!
