@kmc03511 My kid is a very high stats kid (plus rigorous schedule) well above Richmondā€™s 75 percentile in both GPA and test scores deferred EA. Based on the other places that have accepted her and/or given her their top awards, this deferral was a little surprising but not shocking. You just never know with admissions. Itā€™s possible her app didnā€™t mesh with whatever the AOs are looking for. Also, Richmond cares about demonstrated interest and that was definitely lacking in my daughterā€™s case (only online visiting, no interview).

Good luck to you!

Thank you same to your kid! I was deferred ed which shows I was interested but I have also reached out to my admissions counselor various times and I reached out to the head of the major I applied to. Also did a campus visit and other virtual sessions but didnā€™t do an interview

I really hope you are admitted! Please keep us posted! We hear Richmond is simply beautiful and from the virtual info sessions, I really liked what they offer. Iā€™ll be rooting for you.

Iā€™m having trouble getting into my portal. It wonā€™t let me continue without uploading a portfolio. Has this happened to anyone else?

not here.
I think you should call the admissions office or just write and email if the same problem continues.

Thank you so much and itā€™s a pleasure to meet you. May I ask, are you from the U.S too? :slightly_smiling_face:

Yeah I was pretty worried about some items not being received or waived. It just made me uncomfortable because it makes everything look undecided.

Not to me, but I think you should contact the admissions office asap.

I finally got it to work. To access my portal I had been using the same link that I had saved in a spreadsheet with all my college login info. I just looked up the spider portal online and was able to login completely fine that way. So weird.

gotta be careful with those spreadsheets lol
