University of Richmond RD class of 2023

This is getting scarier and stressful

@Astraea1 congratulations to you! would you mind sharing if you are able to get into the deposit portal?

My daughter got in. VA resident. 4.0 UW GPA all honors, 5 AP, 5 DE, Drama geek, president of Creative Writing club. She got a hefty merit scholarship. It’s her top choice but the scholarship only covered half so we’ll see if we can find more scholarships to make it work. Congrats to all who got in!

D also getting small letter. Bummed. 33 ACT 4.1 GPA. 4 year cheerleader,NHS and other ec’s

@Aleinva congrats! Can you please check if you’re able to log in to the deposit portal?

@SPA2100 I tried through the admission deposit payment site and it told me I have an error

My S waitlisted, OOS. 1500 SAT, 4.0 weighted GPA, great EC’s, really good essay. 800 accepted out of 12,000 is pretty low percentage accepted. Not a big deal as he’s been accepted at 3 colleges he likes better and will hear from 7 more in the next 10 days. Richmond it seems really favors ED apps, they like the “sure” thing. I have no problem with that as it makes it much easier for them to manage their attendee rate. His friend got accepted ED with significantly lower stats.

@Astraea1 thank you :slight_smile:

richmond definitely accepts way more applicants EA and ED, because i applied EA and got in with way lower stats than ppl getting rejected

expecting a waitlist notification tomorrow …

@SPA2100 just a question! Did you write a LOCI after you had been deferred?

@peachplant hi! no problem! yes, I did write a LOCI to my regional admission officer and hope it helped, but with the current competitiveness of Richmond admissions, you never know.

@peachplant I see you were deferred as well?

@SPA2100 I was! And I also wrote a letter! I really hope the extra dedication on our parts helps us! Honestly I’m getting less and less hopeful at this point though

@peachplant wow, very true though! maybe tomorrow we will know :confused:

@SPA2100 yeah all this waiting is stressing me out haha! I hope you get in!

@peachplant @SPA2100 I did the same as well! good luck to both of you tomorrow!

@peachplant @rollspides the anxiety is really starting to get to me! best of luck to you both as well – I hope good news is on its way to us all tomorrow!

@SPA2100 @peachplant @rollspides
I did the same
I hope all of us get in

daughter was waitlisted in NJ
