Darn! I was hoping you’d be accepted but at least there is still hope. I read that you should send a letter of continued interest and state clearly that, if accepted, you will attend (only if that’s true). Good luck!

I did that when I was deferred from Ed2. Do I send another
Wow, Ethiopia is one of my favourite countries. I love it so much!
Congratulations on your waitlist, and I hope you eventually get admitted. It’s interesting learning that we got waitlisted for different reasons because mine was that my file was incomplete and therefore they could not make a decision. I was advised to contact them directly to reactivate my application and complete it if I want to be considered for admission.

I would, bc now you were waitlisted from the RD pool. Read the FAQ carefully. It says you can send updated info, etc.
This is so funny but relatable because I read the same thing and those words were the first thing that caught my attention. I was convinced that they had denied me admission until I read the entire letter and came across “consideration for a waitlist”. 
Do you have any other schools on your list coming up this week? Like any college decisions?

I just don’t know what I would say! I told them I would submit my deposit the same day if accepted, would definetly attend and I wrote about updates to my application (activities and grades).

Hi! Definitely new to this forum. Was wondering if those who were accepted to Richmond would mind sharing their basic stats (SAT/ACT and GPA) so that those of us who are waitlisted can have a sense as to where we stand? It would be very helpful. Thanks, and congrats to those who have been accepted!

I read the common app essay after it was submitted but not one supplemental. No traditional hooks here…my daughter is just very independent and asked me to remove myself from the process. Congrats!
